[Devel] Another approach to mac fonts...

[George Williams]

I wanted to be able to look at mac fonts on non-mac systems so I wrote 
the attached wrapper which will find things inside mac dfonts or in 
macbinary files that contain mac resource fonts (it will also work on a 
bare mac resource file if anyone manages to get that onto a non-mac 
system).

There is no mac specific code here, it should work on any system 
(including macs).

This is probably not the right approach (I should probably have written 
a driver instead), but it was all I had time for.

The file base/ftnomac.c provides two top level API calls
  FT_Error
  FT_New_Mac_Face( FT_Library   library,
                   const char*  pathname,
                   FT_Long      face_index,
                   FT_Face     *aface );
and
  FT_Error
  FT_New_MacMemory_Face( FT_Library      library,
                         const FT_Byte*  file_base,
                         FT_Long         file_size,
                         FT_Long         face_index,
                         FT_Face        *aface );
These should behave just like their obvious counterparts except that 
they will check for mac fonts before anything else.
