> Oracle's closed-source font rendering chokes on some fonts embedded in PDFs because their cmap data is either missing or invalid.
> Using OpenJDK, no crashes were observed.
> The JVM crashes right after attempting to draw a glyph vector using codepoints, which is called from within PDSimpleFont#drawString.
> Versions of pdfbox prior to 1.7.0 did not crash.
> The crashes look like this:
> JRE 6:
> # JRE version: 6.0_45-b06
> # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.45-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
> # Problematic frame:
> # C  [libfontmanager.so+0x242c8]  imaginary long double+0xd8
> JRE 7:
> # JRE version: 7.0_21-b11
> # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (23.21-b01 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
> # Problematic frame:
> # C  [libt2k.so+0x2e6b1]  Compute_cmapClass_GlyphIndex+0x1
> Since older versions of pdfbox did not crash, I tracked the problem down to a call to java.awt.Font#canDisplayUpTo(String) that has been moved in 1.7.0 from the top of PDSimpleFont#drawString down to a branch. Moving the call back up prevented the crash.
> It looks like a call to java.awt.Font#canDisplay(int) initializes some internal data structures of Oracle's fontmanager, preventing the JVM crash.
> As I have observed this crash only for fonts that have been processed through PDType0Font, I have added a fix there, which should save us some cycles and, more importantly, should not create new problems.
> Oracle bug reports have been filed for both JRE 6 and 7, including a "minimal" test case:
> Oracle JRE 6: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=9002077
> Oracle JRE 7: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=9002078
> There have been a few other bug reports mentioning a similar crash on other platforms, older JRE versions, e.g.: PDFBOX-1426, PDFBOX-1336.
> The patch provided here might fix these bugs, too.
