[Freetype] Another Mac Type1 FOND problem

[Paul Miller]

Hi guys,

Previously I had been having trouble getting Type1 fonts working with FT 
(using 2.1.3 right now). I think I have discovered the problem. It seems to 
be a problem with parse_fond, and how it attempts to decipher lwfn filename 
post-fixes.

For example, I have a Type1 font that is split up into these files:

        Conques.t1      - the suitcase
        ConquBoo        - the Type 1 font for "Conquest-Book"
        ConquDem        - the Type 1 font for "Conquest-Demi"

Now, parse_fond properly figures out the lwfn PREFIX, which is Conqu, but 
it doesn't handle the post-fix style names correctly. Invariably it ends up 
with an lwfn name of "Conqu<garbage chars>", which of course doesn't exist.

Who is the current handler of the Mac fond parsing code? How can I work 
with that person ASAP to fix this issue? I'm really not familiar enough 
with the FOND format to fix the code myself.

Thanks much!
