Are there compatibility problems with >systems that don_t have (working) setjmp/longjmp? Thank you for finding the bug. The original implementation of ft_validator_run was introduced as a part of (PS-)CMap handler (before ftvalid), 2002-03-22 (raw setjmp() was used). http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/freetype2/src/base/ftobjs.c?root=freetype&r1=1.125&r2=1.126 At present, ft_validator_run() is only used by otvalid/gxvalid. Unfortunately, the platforms of ftvalid maintainers (Masatake Yamato and me) are quite limited: Linux/i386 and a few Mac OS X, thus the bug does not appear. Yet I'm not sure of the intention of original author, give me a few weeks. If urgent fix is required, I will write a patch for configure to check ft_validator_run() works well and replace ft_setjmp() if does not work.
