Frenchfrie updated PDFBOX-5219:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Some fonts legitimately do not have a 'loca' table as specified in [Apple 
documentation|https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6loca.html]:

??The {{'loca'}} table only used with fonts that have TrueType outlines (that 
is, a [{{'glyf'}} 
table|https://developer.apple.com/fonts/TrueType-Reference-Manual/RM06/Chap6glyf.html]).
 Fonts that have no TrueType outlines do not require a {{'loca'}} table.??

This has led to some misunderstanding in the NotoColorEmoji google font project 
as testified by those issues :

[https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues/190]

[https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/issues/288]

Also reproduced with JoyPixels.ttf from [https://www.joypixels.com/] installed 
through [package 
manager|https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttf-joypixels/].

 

The TTFParser class just do not accept this font based on the absence of the 
'loca' table and it can be verified with the simple test:
{code:java}
PDType0Font.load(doc, getClass().getResourceAsStream("NotoColorEmoji.ttf"), 
false);
{code}
