[jira] [Reopened] (PDFBOX-3260) IOException "head is mandatory" when importing a TTF file

["John Aylward (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

John Aylward reopened PDFBOX-3260:
----------------------------------

I'm hitting a snag and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to place my TTF file on the classpath and load it as a resource:

this works fine (not a resource):
{quote}
try (final InputStream fontStream = new FileInputStream(
        new File(
                "/home/user/path/to/my/project/src/main/resources/micrenc.ttf"))

) {
    this.micrFont = PDType0Font.load(this.pdf, fontStream);
}
{quote}


But this gives me the "head is mandatory" error:

{quote}
try (final InputStream ts = CheckTopPDFPayment.class.getResourceAsStream("/micrenc.ttf");
        final InputStream fontStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(IOUtils.toByteArray(ts))
) {
    this.micrFont = PDType0Font.load(this.pdf, fontStream);
}
{quote}

The resource is definately found (when it isn't I instead get an NPE) and I can't for the life of me figure out why this would be different than loading the file directly.

I placed the IOUtils.toByteArray in there to see if it changed anything, but indeed, it's the same error as just using the resource stream directly.

If it makes a difference at all, this is running in a Tomcat 7 (7.0.62) container
