[ft-devel] Re: a flag making FT_Open_Face() to use fallback family name

[mpsuzuki]

Thanks!

Just I've committed 2 changesets:

2010-08-28  suzuki toshiya  <address@hidden>

        Force hinting when the font lacks its familyname.
        In Type42 or Type11 font embedded in PostScript & PDF, TrueType
        sfnt stream may lack `name' table because they are not required.
        Hinting for nameless fonts is safer for PDFs including embedded
        Chinese fonts. Written by David Bevan, see:

        http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2010-August/006310.html

        * src/truetype/ttobjs.c (tt_check_trickyness): If a NULL pointer
        by nameless font is given, TRUE is returned to enable hinting.

        Register yet another tricky TrueType font.

        * src/truetype/ttobjs.c (tt_check_trickyness): Add `HuaTianKaiTi?',
        a Kaishu typeface paired with `HuaTianSongTi?' by Huatian
        Information Industry.
