[ft-devel] Probable Bug in TrueType pclt table structure

[Darrell Bellert]

Greetings -

I will first begin with a disclaimer that I am new to freetype and fonts 
in general, so I may be guilty of a newbie mistake, but I believe I have 
found a bug in freetype's truetype module with the pclt table 
structure.  In referencing the function tt_face_load_pclt() in ttload.c, 
we see that following TT_PCLT structure is defined:

#define FT_STRUCTURE  TT_PCLT

      FT_FRAME_START( 54 ),
        FT_FRAME_ULONG ( Version ),
        FT_FRAME_ULONG ( FontNumber ),
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( Pitch ),
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( xHeight ),
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( Style ),
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( TypeFamily ),
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( CapHeight ),
        FT_FRAME_BYTES ( TypeFace, 16 ),
        FT_FRAME_BYTES ( CharacterComplement, 8 ),
        FT_FRAME_BYTES ( FileName, 6 ),
        FT_FRAME_CHAR  ( StrokeWeight ),
        FT_FRAME_CHAR  ( WidthType ),
        FT_FRAME_BYTE  ( SerifStyle ),
        FT_FRAME_BYTE  ( Reserved ),
      FT_FRAME_END

Reviewing the truetype technical specification revision 1.66, I noticed 
that the SymbolSet field entry is missing from the above structure.  I 
believe the following entry should occur after CapHeight in the above 
structure:
        FT_FRAME_USHORT( SymbolSet ),

Please confirm.

Thanks,

Darrell
