Description Ray Johnston 2008-07-04 09:47:00 UTC
This file has a problem, but it causes GS to exit with an error.

The FontFile2 for an embedded TrueType font is a zero length stream. Examination
with a hex editor shows that at the file offset is 'endstream' then 'endobj'
(for object 439). We don't handle this gracefully.

PDFDEBUG output shows:

This file fails on Page 8.

-dFirstPage=8 can be used to get the failure immediately.
Comment 2 Alex Cherepanov 2008-07-04 13:40:27 UTC
Fix a bug in the error recovery code that handles invalid font streams.
The following patch is committed as a rev. 8820.
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2008-July/008402.html

Regression testing shows no differences. A file that exercises this case
will be added to the test suite.
