Re: [ft-devel] loading fonts with signature 'OTTO'

[mpsuzuki]

I think default configuration of FT2 can load CFF OpenType
(pathname suffix is ".otf" and the first 4 bytes is "OTTO").

$ wget

Could you post more detailed info about the font you had trouble?
I wish if the font is available publicly.
