RE: [ft-devel] issue with ArialMT in 2.1.9

Here's an extract from t1disasm:

Freetype throws an error on the closepath. I wonder if the hmoveto
should maybe start a path (at least for the purpose of the syntax
check).

         Adobe has never shipped Arial - MT or otherwise.

         It is, however, a common Windows font - but usually in the TTF 
variety.
