  size(100,100);
  cp5 = new ControlP5(this, new ControlFont(createFont("Ubuntu", 12)));
}

void draw() {
}

2. Run the code

3. Following error is shown
Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException

I temporary use following workaround:
Calling setFont() after initialize ControlP5 without setting the ControlFont

cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
cp5.setFont(aControlFont);
