[ft-devel] Freetype fails to open BDF files

[Akira Urushibata]

I have observed that freetype-2.9 cannot open numerous BDF files.
After encountering the problem I wrote the following program to
investigate.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H

int error;

int
main( int     argc,
      char**  argv )
{
  FT_Library    library;
  FT_Face       face;
  char*         filename;

  if ( argc != 2)
  {
    fprintf ( stderr, "usage: %s font sample-text\n", argv[0] );
    exit( 1 );
  }

  filename      = argv[1];                           /* first argument     */


  error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library );              /* initialize library */
  if (error!=0) {
    fprintf (stderr,"%d\n", error);
    return error;
  }

  error = FT_New_Face( library, filename, 0, &face );/* create face object */
  if (error!=0) {
    fprintf (stderr,"%d\n", error);
    return error;
  }

  fprintf (stderr,"%d\n", 0);
  return 0;
}

/* EOF */

And these are the results.  BDF files were taken directly from debian source
packages.  First number in line is the error code, or 0 in case of success.
