Thank-you for the reply, I apologize for the incomplete sample - as I had sent
it out without testing, while I was putting together a Makefile. The LoadFile
function is completely different in the sample I sent compared to my actual
Android application, and it turns out that my completed sample succeeds, but my
Android app fails. The major difference between the two is the way that the
input file is loaded. However I verify that my Android app correctly reads in
the input file by performing a byte comparison between the original input file
and a file that I write out consisting of the buffer that I had just read into.
Thanks for all the responses, I will continue to investigate, thanks!LD

Hi Louis,
if I parse your sample code correctly, your LoadFile function does not allocate
a memory buffer to read in the font file. Thus you overwrite memory big style.
The declaration char buf[]; only declares a pointer to a character buffer. The
pointer has an undefined value (address) and this is also where your data goes
to. Thus your problem is not related to freetype library but more to a
uncompleted transition from Java to bare bone C/C++ programming world.
Quick Fix: :
unsigned char *LoadFile( char * fileName, zip_uint64_t &fileSize ){
int MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10485760; unsigned char *buf = new
char[MAX_FILE_SIZE];
FILE *inFile = fopen("fileName","rb"); fileSize =
(zip_uint64_t)fread(buf, sizeof(unsigned char), MAX_FILE_SIZE, inFile);
fclose(inFile); return buf;
}Smart fix: first determine the actual file size with fseek / ftell prior to
allocate the buffer for maximum size. Android devices are very memory limited.

Thanks for your reply. I am still trying to get a successful Makefile going so
I have not been able to test this standalone app yet, however in case it helps,
I have attached the code that should provide the crash in the meanwhile. The
main program is in Standalone.cpp and crashes within FT_New_Memory_Face. I have
also provided a sample ttf and the freetype library that I am using with
Android (though I have added various 'printfs' for debugging).
Thank-you

It should be possible to create a self standing example that will compile on a
Linux box. It might not have to be fully equivalent as long as it fails in the
same way and aids in debugging

I apologize, I made a copy\paste error when providing the sample, I have
corrected it below as they are in fact the same buffers in the code I'm
running.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a complete standalone sample as I am working in
the Android NDK.

In the code sample, FT_NEW_MEMORY_Face()
is passed a different buffer from the one created by LoadFile().

FT_New_Memory_Face crashes
I have loaded an "arial.ttf" file (taken from
my /Windows/Fonts folder) into memory, however passing this into
FT_New_Memory_Face
crashes (I have also tried other ttf files, and this function still crashes).
Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong? Note that I am using Freetype with
the Android NDK, so it is difficult to debug, however I find that eventually,
the crash occurs within:
FT_New_Memory_Face ->
FT_Open_Face -> FT_Stream_ReadLong -> crashes at:
if
( p )
{
result = FT_NEXT_LONG( p );
//crashes here, in file ftstream.c, method FT_Stream_ReadLong
}
And below is my code:
unsigned char *fontBuffer = LoadFile("arial.ttf");
zip_uint64_t fSize = GetFileSize("arial.ttf"); // I checked this, and it
returns the correct size
FT_Library library;
FT_Face face;
int error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library ); // I checked this, this step succeeds
if( error != 0 )
printf("FT_Init_FreeType failed");
error = FT_New_Memory_Face( library,
(FT_Byte*)fontBuffer,
fSize,
0,
&face );
