Invalid Characters codes when reading a specific font

Dear All,

when opening DroidSansFallback TTF font [1] via the following code using
just FontBox dependency, the Invalid Characters codes error appears:

TrueTypeFont font = new TTFParser().parseTTF(new
File("DroidSansFallback.ttf"));

java.io.IOException: Invalid Characters codes
	at
org.apache.fontbox.ttf.CMAPEncodingEntry.processSubtype12(CMAPEncodingEntry.
java:221)
	at
org.apache.fontbox.ttf.CMAPEncodingEntry.initSubtable(CMAPEncodingEntry.java
:100)
...

FontBox 1.8.2/Win7/JDK 7

I plan to perform some character subsetting...

Is there any workaround for this issue?

Thanks, Jan

You should update to 1.8.4, maybe the issue is already fixed.
