    Description

      I get this with 1.8.2 with certain files:

      The cause [as of 19.8.2013] is in PageDrawer.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.
      [memo for me: it is file 287]
