While parsing a PDF document, I'm trying to create a font. The following piece 
of code (similar to what is done in the pdofotxtextract tool):

        PdfVariant fontSize = popStack();
        PdfVariant fontName = popStack();

        if ( ! fontSize.IsReal() ) return;
        if ( ! fontName.IsName() ) return;

        cout << "Font name : " << fontName.GetName().GetName() << endl;
        cout << "Font size : " << fontSize.GetReal() << endl;

        PdfObject * fontObjectPtr = m_pdfPagePtr->GetFromResources( PdfName( 
"Font" ), fontName.GetName() );

        if ( ! fontObjectPtr )
        {
                cout << "Cannot create font" << endl; return;
        }

        cout << "Font successfully created" << endl;


Produces the following output:

        Font name : R11
        Font size : 24.9976
        Cannot create font


To find out why the GetFromResources() call fails, I try the following code:

        PdfVariant fontSize = popStack();
        PdfVariant fontName = popStack();

        if ( ! fontSize.IsReal() ) return;
        if ( ! fontName.IsName() ) return;

        cout << "Font name : " << fontName.GetName().GetName() << endl;
        cout << "Font size : " << fontSize.GetReal() << endl;

        PdfObject * typePtr = 
m_pdfPagePtr->GetResources()->GetDictionary().GetKey( PdfName( "Font" ) );

        if ( ! typePtr->IsDictionary() )
        {
                cout << "Type is " << typePtr->GetDataTypeString() << endl; 
return;
        }


And this outputs:

        Font name : R11
        Font size : 24.9976
        Type is Reference


Since this should be a Dictionary and not a Reference, the GetFromResources() 
call fails.


What am I doing wrong?
