Re: Problem with ftview on DEC Alpha (traced to t2gload.c)

[Tom Kacvinsky]

Hi,

Yes, I think that changing the various header/source files to use
FT_Int32 (FT_UInt32) for 32 bit quantitites, FT_Int16... for 16 bit
quantities would *definitely* ease library maintenence.  One could
then use autoconf magic on UNIX-like boxes to get the correct types.
For instance, on the DEC alphas I work with, FT_Int32 would be
"typedef signed int FT_Int32;", provided one has a freetypeh.in (or
some such) for autoconf to run sed on...
