JL> I have recently trying to use the fonttootf to convert a bdf JL> font into otf.
Please note that fonttotf is in an early alpha stage; it is not meant to be useful right now. I suggest that you should use pfaedit rather than fonttootf for the time being. JL> First, the bdf font is encoding in Big5 (to be exact the JL> encoding should be Big5-HKSCS). The current version of fonttootf requires Unicode-encoded fonts. Being able to use fonts in legacy encodings is a planned feature for future versions. JL> I use gdb to take a look and found that, the cause is the JL> absent of a 'FAMILY_NAME' so freetype just set the JL> face->family_name to 0 and the when " full_name = JL> malloc(strlen(face->family_name) + 1); " occurs inside read.c:81 JL> of the fontofotf, it bombs. Noted, thanks for the report. Juliusz _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
