Description

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null
    org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.generateBoundingBox(PDType1Font.java:519)
    org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.getBoundingBox(PDType1Font.java:509)
    org.apache.pdfbox.text.LegacyPDFStreamEngine.showGlyph(LegacyPDFStreamEngine.java:162)
    org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.PDFStreamEngine.showText(PDFStreamEngine.java:715)

The cause is an empty font descriptor and a missing check for null. I'll add the check at other places too.
