--------------------------------------------------------
The class as currently implemented is inconsistent. isPostscript() doesn't just
look at the OTTO version (hasPostScriptTag), it also checks for the presence of
the tables. This means that I as a user of the class can query isPostscript(),
get true for a non-OTTO file, and then get an exception even though there is a
CFF table in the file. That seems... weird.
So the perspective I'm coming from is "hey, these two very related concepts are
being used in a way that makes the class inconsistent, here's how to make it
consistent".

> Fontbox OpenTypeFont should use isPostScript() internally, not isPostScript

> Key: PDFBOX-5904
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-5904
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: FontBox
> Affects Versions: 3.0.3 PDFBox
> Reporter: Jxtps
> Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler
> Priority: Major
>
> OpenTypeFont's isPostScript() is defined as:
> {code:java}
> public boolean isPostScript()
> {
> return isPostScript || tables.containsKey(CFFTable.TAG) ||
> tables.containsKey("CFF2");
> } {code}
> See:
> https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/fontbox/src/main/java/org/apache/fontbox/ttf/OpenTypeFont.java
> So it checks for the presence of key tables (CFF, CFF2).
> However, the getters in the class only checks the private variable
> isPostScript, not the method.
> This causes buggy font files with the wrong version tag but with a CFF table
> to throw exceptions.
> To fix: replace the internall references to isPostScript by calls to
> isPostScript().
> Workaround: crack open the module and create a custom class in the same
> package and have it call setVersion(Float.intBitsToFloat(0x4F54F4F4)), but
> that kind of sucks.
