Hello, This is my first post, so please be gentle. :)
I don't actually use freetype, except that I use vtk (<http:// www.vtk.org/>) which uses freetype. I am writing here to report a 'bug' of sorts. Basically, it seems the freetype implementation on the Mac is somewhat antiquated. I receive the following warnings about the use of deprecated functions: ftmac.c:179: warning: 'FSpGetFInfo' is deprecated ftmac.c:234: warning: 'PBGetFCBInfoSync' is deprecated ftmac.c:264: warning: 'FSMakeFSSpec' is deprecated ftmac.c:838: warning: 'FMCreateFontFamilyIterator' is deprecated ftmac.c:848: warning: 'FMGetNextFontFamily' is deprecated ftmac.c:858: warning: 'FMGetFontFamilyName' is deprecated ftmac.c:859: warning: 'CopyPascalStringToC' is deprecated ftmac.c:862: warning: 'FMCreateFontFamilyInstanceIterator' is deprecated ftmac.c:873: warning: 'FMGetNextFontFamilyInstance' is deprecated ftmac.c:898: warning: 'FMDisposeFontFamilyInstanceIterator' is deprecated ftmac.c:902: warning: 'FMDisposeFontFamilyIterator' is deprecated ftmac.c:906: warning: 'FMGetFontContainer' is deprecated These functions have been officially deprecated as of Mac OS 10.4 Tiger, but unofficially deprecated long ago. The two main points are: - FSSpecs should be replaced with FSRefs - <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2078.html> - Font Manager calls should be replaced with ATS for Fonts. - <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ ATS_Concepts/atsfonts_intro/chapter_1_section_1.html> - The main header is ATSFont.h, in ApplicationServices/ATS Of course, this isn't a short term problem, and I am not in a position to supply a patch, but I did want to bring this to your attention.
