[Devel] Mac osx problem

[Timothy Prepscius]

This could potentially be slightly off topic.  But........

I am trying to load the font "Arial" on a Mac OSX computer.

I first use FT_GetFile_From_Mac_Name- this successfully finds a valid
FSSpec.
I then use an fsspec2path I found and revised to convert to a file system
path:
    The resulting path is "/Library/Fonts/Arial"

This is seemingly correct, since there is an Arial file in the
"/Library/Fonts" directory.
Only its length is zero.
And FT_New_Face fails to load the file. (understandable!)

Am I missing something?

thanks,

tim
