Hi Dennis,
You wrote some time ago that you would be willing to create patches to fix
TTC fonts.
We decided today to prepare a new release of PoDoFo on June 1rst and have a
code freeze from May 18th on. Do you think you can provide those patches in
time? Would be great to have them in the release!
Best regards,
Dominik
