Re: OpenType with CFF outlines

[David Turner]

Sorry for taking so long to answer, but I believe that the problem
with CFF comes from a bug in the loader that much probably overwrites
some memory structures (electric fence doesn't catch everything, as
you probably know)..

I'm currently hacking this code (in order to support CID fonts) and
quite a few things have changed. Please wait for a few days for more
info..

Cheers,
