Re: [ft-devel] freetype doesn't load few fonts on mac

[mpsuzuki]

Hi,

In my Mac OS X 10.5.7 running on PowerBook G4, I can load
Arial & Times New Roman bundled to Mac OS X 10.3.

I've uploaded freetype-2.3.8 & 2.3.9 debug binaries for Mac OS X:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttf2ttc/files/freetype2-binaries/macosx/freetype-2.3.8_posix.cpz/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttf2ttc/files/freetype2-binaries/macosx/freetype-2.3.8_carbon.cpz/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttf2ttc/files/freetype2-binaries/macosx/freetype-2.3.9_posix.cpz/download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttf2ttc/files/freetype2-binaries/macosx/freetype-2.3.9_carbon.cpz/download

Please download a package which look most similar to your
freetype and check if included ftdump can load your font.
If you don't know what is .cpz, check the manual of ditto
command.

Regards,
mpsuzuki
