Date: Sun, 29 Aug 2010 10:54:12 +0100 User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228) I enclose the files supplied by Stefan (surname unknown). But I cannot load the PFB file. FreeType fails in t1parse.c when loading it:

    /* Check that we have a private dictionary there */
    /* and allocate private dictionary buffer        */
    if ( parser->private_len == 0 )
    {
      FT_ERROR(( "T1_Get_Private_Dict:" ));
      FT_ERROR(( " invalid private dictionary section\n" ));
      error = T1_Err_Invalid_File_Format;
      goto Fail;
    }

I *can* however load the OTF file and am just about to start trying to find the problem using it.

Best regards,

Graham

I'll have a look at it when I have time - probably at the weekend. I
must say though that I did not make this checkin.  Although the
change is due to a suggestion of mine, someone else made the change
and 'kindly' attributed it to me.

Hehe.  Your patch looked convincing, and I haven't experienced
rendering problems yet.

Can you supply the font file too?

Yes, please send the PDF (or the extracted font of it) and the screen
shot to the freetype-devel list too.
