I had to fix a bug [1] in Pango and fontconfig where the ftglue-derived code
was checking "face->num_faces> 1" to detect TrueType Collections. This fails
with Apple dfont's where num_faces is the number of faces in different streams
of the dfont and does not mean the current face is a TTC.
Is this intentional or a bug in FreeType?
It was intentional. The feature counting the faces in Apple
Suitcase font format as if it were TTC had ever been
implemented for MacOS, proposed by Paul Mirror:
Understood.

* builds/mac/README: Updated to reflect my taking over the project
and that is now being actively maintained.
* src/base/ftmac.c (parse_fond): Applied patches from Paul Miller
<pa...@profoundeffects.com> to support loading a face other than the
first from a FOND resource.
(FT_New_Face_From_FOND): Updated.
But I sympathize with your dissatisfaction that FT2 provides
no API to distinguish TTC and FOND. Although you already fixed
Pango (and fontconfig?) to distinguish by checking the internal
of the font file (I'm sorry!), do you need any functionalities
in FT2?
No, it's perfectly fine, as we were doing our own table lookup anyway. It's
just that the ftglue code was making a wrong assumption. The patch was barely
ten lines.
