Hi Eric, Eric Poulsen wrote:
You should be very careful with FT_Get_Postscript_Name invoked on TrueType fonts.Some of them just do not have it :-)...Yes. :-) Do not use TrueType fonts :-))Firstly, thank you for your response. It is greatly appreciated. Fair enough -- my application is going to produce PostScript in the end any way, and I was planning to use PS fonts, but I had a font dir that contained both, when my app stumbled across this problem. In a larger sense, though, shouldn't FT_Get_Postscript_Name just return NULL if there is no name for a TTF font, rather than segfault? Or is this function still considered 'experimental' with TTF?
Of course, what you're describing is not a feature bug a critical bug (as anything that makes the engine crash, by the way). I couldn't reproduce the bug with the current CVS sources, nor understand easily where it could come from. Could you send me directly one offending font ? (work address preferred for now).
