RE: [Devel] problem reading Letter Gothic Font

[Ian Brown]

Found the problem ... and it was my fault.
I was reading the font file using fopen(filename, "r") instead of
fopen(filename, "rb") and Windows was opening it in text translation mode.
I've no idea why the other fonts worked okay ... just goes to show how
robust freetype is these days.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

Ian

This looks like a bug in the TT interpreter.  Please send the font to
