Re: [ft] FT_Open_Face

[suzuki toshiya]

Hi,

I guess you're afraid that some bugs exist in the stream driver
of the FreeType2. You could load no font? Or, you could load
some fonts, but could not other fonts?

If FT_Open_Face() is already failed, the glyph loading should
not be tried anymore. According to fterrdef.h, error code 2
(from FT_Open_Face()) means the unknown font file format.
So... if you could load some fonts but could not load other,
please clarify the font file you've tried. If it's officially
provided freely (not piracy), or bundled to the widely available
products, no need to post the font file in this list, please
clarify how to access it.

If it's difficult (e.g. commercial font, or embedded font in
the confidential document etc), please try the tracing of FreeType2.
The method how to build the FreeType2 with debugging and tracing
message is written in doc/DEBUG.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
