Then instead of calling "FT_Get_WinFNT_Header", which is simply a wrapper, client can call "FT_Find_Service" to request the service directly.
Same other services, like OPENTYPE_VALIDATE, GLYPH_DICT, POSTSCRIPT_FONT_NAME, etc., are also ready to be exported. > > To make finding a service faster, we can use integers as service id, > > instead of strings. > > Do you really think that this is of great importance? Strings are > more user-friendly IMHO. We now call "FT_FACE_FIND_SERVICE( GLYPH_DICT )" to find a service. After the change, we still call "FT_FACE_FIND_SERVICE( GLYPH_DICT )" to find a service. So most part of the library won't know the differences, except "ft_service_list_lookup". This may be of some importance when trying to find a global service. -- Regards, olv _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
