FT2 doesn't like certain Adobe T1 fonts?

[Leonard Rosenthol]

I apologize if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find anything in on the 
FT website or in the FT2 sources/docs.

I have deployed FT2 (b8) as part of a SVG rendering engine (on Mac OS 
and Windows), and it's been working great for a while now - thanks 
for everyone associated with FT!

However, as the renderer supports the use of external fonts, one 
customer has discovered that when using certain Type 1 fonts from 
Adobe (AGaramond, for example), bad things happen.

I've tracked it into the fact that FT2's T1 "driver" thinks the font 
is invalid, specifically the parser throws an error about an 
"unexpected POP".

Anybody know what the story is here - and most importantly, how to fix it?


Thanks,
Leonard
