You'd better look around on your disk, because there's no way the libSDL_ttf code could use anything but FreeType. It'd take a rewrite to use anything else. I can now load most Mac fonts, including *.dfont files and, new in the CVS code as of now, even those zero-length files with a resource fork. Note that the Linux and Darwin HFS drivers are compatible; append "/rsrc" to get the resource. Regarding individual fonts: Symbol: discarded because it has no letters VT102Font: fails for unknown reason (no Unicode map? bitmap?) Webdings: discarded because it has no letters Apple Chancery: what the heck is "Chancery"? ZapfDingbats.dfont: discarded because it has no letters Zapfino: fancy ligatures and swashes go unused An additional problem is that FreeType's built-in reader can only find 1 style (face) per font family. When I use fondu to extract the fonts, I get them all.
