Hi,

Thank you for rewriting your trouble report (to fit my poor
English).

Oh, I slipped to consider the possibility that older
CW has no interface. I guess the user can freely choose
the name of "ftcwoptions.h" or anything else (e.g.
ftcwoptions.h, ft2cw7options.h, etc etc). Am I right?

I see.
If you rename "builds/amiga" folder to "builds/zamiga",
does CW pick up "builds/unix/ftsystem.c"?

I want to see the whole of message you received.
I suppose, the message you received might be something like:

FT_Stream_Open: could not open `._Courier'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `%Courier'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `.AppleDouble/Courier'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `Courier/rsrc'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `resource.frk/Courier'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `.resource/Courier'
FT_Stream_Open: could not open `Courier.ttf'

The message is generated by ftrfrk.c which is designed for
POSIX platforms and should not be activated in classic MacOS.
(ftrfrk.c is included by ftbase.c, but should be disabled
in compilation by suitable conditional macros)

If ftrfrk.c is activated (as I supposed), ftmac.c might
be deactivated in compilation. I suppose it's the reason
why half of Mac OS system font cannot be displayed.
