Trying to load a Font from resources throws a BufferUnderflowException

I am trying to load a Selawik font from my project's resources with following code:
try (InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/fonts/selawk.ttf")) {
    Font selawik = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, is);
}

but it results in an exception:
java.awt.FontFormatException: java.nio.BufferUnderflowException
    at java.desktop/sun.font.TrueTypeFont.init(TrueTypeFont.java:532)
    at java.desktop/sun.font.TrueTypeFont.<init>(TrueTypeFont.java:216)

Does anyone have any clue why? The font appears to be a valid TrueType font, but Java still refuses to load it...
