[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4692) Document if and when
PDFont.getFontDescriptor() may return null
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4692?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16975962#comment-16975962 ]

This is described in the PDF specification, but even that won't help you. The ascent / descent entries are not always reliable. With type 3 fonts you can use the bounds, but that too may or may not be reliable.

> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.0.17

> Please document under which conditions {{PDFont.getFontDescriptor()}} may return null and what can be done to calculate the text ascent/descent. Clearly, this should be possible to calculate as the text ends up getting rendered.
> Background information:
> I have a PDF file (credit card statement, so it cannot be shared easily) that contains an embedded {{PDType3Font}} called "C0EX06Q0". When I invoke {{PDFont.getFontDescriptor()}} I get null.
> I have a screenshot of what it looks like. !image-2019-11-16-22-03-15-015.png|thumbnail!
