Obviously, the size object doesn't contain the right GF_Face object.

But, then this way works for bdf and winfont. Why is it so?

Hard to say more without running the debugger.  I suggest that you
check the address of the created GF_Face object; it should be the same
as returned by FT_SIZE_FACE.  If you get a different address you have
to find out where the FT_Face object within FT_Size is set and
possibly changed.  To track changes, you can probably use the

  watch -l ...

command within gdb.

 

Ok, I'll do that. Thanks.
