I think the real solution would be to store the referenced FontTriplet
in the UnresolvedPageNumber, instead of the Font instance.
FontTriplets are fully serializable (used by the FontCache), so we
don't need to declare it transient. The only reason we need the font,
is for UnresolvedPageNumber.resolveIDRef() (line 110), to know how
much space the resolved page-number will occupy given that font.
[BTW (slightly off-topic for this particular thread): I'm wondering
whether we do not need /all/ applicable font-families. After all, page-
numbers can be formatted, so the eventual font would have to have all
the necessary glyphs. Right now, one single Font instance is stored in
the area, and that one is determined before we can verify whether it
indeed has all the glyphs... Perhaps a way too exotic use-case?]
I cannot immediately make an estimate as to how many other classes
would be affected by such a fix. If it's only that one single area
type, it could also prove to be a simple and obvious solution.
If you want to try this out, and succeed in getting it to work, don't
forget to send us the patch. ;-)
If not, again, I'll probably have a closer look during the weekend.
HTH!
