    Description

      Inspired by this complaint
      http://stackoverflow.com/a/24432822/535646
      I tried loading barcode fonts with PDFBox, with the command

      PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF()

      With the file Code39.ttf that I get here
      http://www.myfont.de/download.php?winfont=bar-code-39-lesbar&type=zip
      I get this exception:

      Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.makeFontDescriptor(PDTrueTypeFont.java:328)
	at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDTrueTypeFont.<init>(PDTrueTypeFont.java:127)
