I've also seen many places in the font code, which just catch Exceptions without handling them, nor logging them.
This is really frightening when investigating issues with fonts. 
It seems like some Exceptions are expected, but it's not known which Exceptions are expected. No wonder the font-loading features often feel unstable.

Should I also make a PR for this problem?
