---------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException in PDType1Font.java
                 Key: PDFBOX-1664
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1664
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: PDModel
    Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 2.0.0
         Environment: XP
            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


I get this with 1.8.2 with certain files:

17.07.2013 11:48:54.406 WARN  [main] org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine:567 - java.lang.NullPointerException

The cause is in PDType1Font.java:

    awtFont = FontManager.getAwtFont(fd.getFontName());

which fails because fd.getFontName() returns null.

A fix (don't know if it is good or just the symptom) is to add this line above:

    if (fd.getFontName() != null)

It happens with 1.8.2, and the 2.0.0 version that I downloaded on May 5th.


I can't provide a file, because its confidential.
