Thanks for the clarification.  I had forgotten that even 'foreign' 
files will pass through tt_face_load_sfnt_header() in the process of 
determining the font format.

I see now that my patch to tt_face_load_sfnt_header() would have 
returned SFNT_Err_Bad_Argument for WinFNT files with a face index > 0 
instead of the expected error code SFNT_Err_Unknown_File_Format.

No, I'm happy to say that I understand that your patch is the correct 
one.

Thanks for the collaboration,
