[Devel] Errors in pstables.h

[Artur Zaprzala]

I noticed that programs using FreeType and Type1 fonts can't display three
characters essential for Polish language and traced the source of this problem
in freetype-2.0.4/src/tools/glnames.py.
 
A simple patch is attached, but this solution is not complete.
 
 
I think that the algorithm for generating pstables.h is wrong, because
characters that are in mac_standard_names list won't be available in
t1_standard_glyphs array (from pstables.h) unless they are also in
t1_standard_strings list. And this is the case for the following polish
characters: Cacute, cacute and lslash.
 
The other strange thing is that a subset of Polish characters is in
t1_standard_strings, another subset is in mac_standard_names and the rest is
taken from adobe_glyph_list, while all of them should be in the same group.
 
This error affects also other characters. This is excerpt from
freetype-2.0.4/src/psnames/pstables.h, standard_glyph_names array:
{
    ".null",    #
    "CR",       #
    "notequal",
    "infinity",
    "lessequal",
    "greaterequal",
    "partialdiff",
    "summation",
    "product",
    "pi",
    "integral",
    "Omega",
    "radical",
    "approxequal",
    "Delta",
    "nbspace",  #
    "lozenge",
    "periodcentered",
    "apple",    #
    "lslash",
    "franc",
    "Gbreve",
    "gbreve",
    "Idot",     ##
    "Scedilla",
    "scedilla",
    "Cacute",
    "cacute",
    "Ccaron",
    "ccaron",
    "dmacron",  ##
    ...
}
I think characters not marked with hash shouldn't be in this group (group not
available from t1_standard_glyphs array). This is the result of wrong
approach.
 
Lines marked with `##' seem to be misspelled, because they are not in
adobe_glyph_list and are similar to existing glyph names.


I am ready to help.
