Quite possibly it's working as intended. I just didn't expect it to be that way. The point was: if hb_font is only needed during face-wise autohinter setup, would be better to destroy the font after that. Currently the font is stored in AF_FaceGlobals, which means it will be kept open for the duration of the FT_Face. Nothing wrong with it though. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list HarfBuzz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
