Daniel Gredler commented on PDFBOX-5728:
----------------------------------------

No, unfortunately I don't have access to the font file. My best guess is that 
it was a version 3 PostScript table 
([https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/post#version-30),] 
but that's just a guess. In this scenario `PostScriptTable.glyphNames` would 
remain `null`, causing `getName()` to return `null`.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: FontBox

> It looks like `TTFSubsetter.buildPostTable()` can sometimes throw NPEs:
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null
>         at 
> org.apache.fontbox.ttf.TTFSubsetter.buildPostTable(TTFSubsetter.java:859)
>         at 
> org.apache.fontbox.ttf.TTFSubsetter.writeToStream(TTFSubsetter.java:971)
> Looking at the code, the `names` map keys are Strings that come from 
> `PostScriptTable.getName(gid)`, which can sometimes return `null`. A few 
> lines later, these possibly-null String keys are converted to bytes, at which 
> point the system may throw a NPE.
