Skiasharp 1.68.1 null exception: Word to PDF custom font substitution

Problem: Skiasharp versions 1.68.1 or greater cause a null reference exception when Word to PDF conversion font substitution is used.

Verification: I have verified Skiasharp versions 1.59.3 - 1.68.0 do not cause an exception to be thrown.

DLL Version notes: Exception is thrown for any current Syncfusion version and for SkiaSharp 1.68.1 or greater. 

Syncfusion.DocIORenderer.Net.Core dll depends on SkiaSharp version 1.59.3, which is from Dec. 2017. The max working Skiasharp version, 1.68.0, is from Dec. 2018. We want to use the latest version of SkiaSharp to take advantage of its optimizations. Skiasharp 1.59.3 doesn't work in Azure for some reason. We haven't tested Skiasharp 1.68.0 in Azure yet.

Relevant code:

   WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument(docStream, Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Docx);
    wordDocument.FontSettings.SubstituteFont += FontSettings_SubstituteFont;
    DocIORenderer render = new DocIORenderer();
    PdfDocument pdfDocument = render.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);

Notes
  1. I tested with prerelease versions of Syncfusion.DocIORenderer.Net.Core and Skiasharp and still got the exception.
