Nil can't be coerced into a float -- happens with stylesheet

[jxxcarlson]

I get the error listed bellow when I use a style sheet with asciidoctor pdf. No pdf is generated.
Without the stylesheet, the pdf is generated without error.

$ asciidoctor-pdf -a pdf-style=base-theme.yml Poetry_8.ad 
/Users/carlson/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1/gems/prawn-1.2.1/lib/prawn/document.rb:437:in `-': nil can't be coerced into Float (TypeError)

here is the style sheet:

base:
  font_size: 9
  line_height_length: 10

The error occurs with and without the trailing blank line.

At this point, Asciidoctor PDF doesn't work with a partial stylesheet (I'll need to overlay default values to allow this). The best way to start at the moment is to take the current default-theme.yml and change values as need. Can you try it that way?

Of course, in the long run we want to be able to support a theme with minimal settings as you have there.

Will do !

Is that implemented in the latest version? Partial configuration support?

Yes. Asciidoctor PDF now loads a base theme, so you should only have to specify what you need to configure. However, it is still strongly recommended that you provide custom fonts (or use the built-in names seen in https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/blob/master/data/themes/default-theme.yml) or else you will run into character problems.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of #132, which is now resolved.
