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

[vishvesh kumar]

Hi all,
    I have been trying to load fonts on my machine from "/Users/vishvesh/Library/Fonts/" using freetype.
    I  tried loading Times New Roman and Arial freetype couldn't load it. But it loaded mangal and MS Gothic fonts. 

This is my code
 
    FT_Library library;
    FT_Face face = 0L;
    FT_Error error;
   
    error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
    error = FT_New_Face(library, "/Users/vishvesh/Library/Fonts/MS Gothic.ttf", 0, &face ); // return 2 for Times New Roman and Arial
   
    FT_UInt index;
    FT_ULong charCode = FT_Get_First_Char(face, &index);
    while(index != 0)
    {
        charCode = FT_Get_Next_Char(face, charCode, &index);
    }

There is one similarity though, Times New Roman and Arial didn't have any extension .  mangal and MS Gothic had ttf extension. I tried renaming Arial to Arial.ttf , that didn't help either.
