Re: [Devel] Freetype2 patch on Mac

[Garrick Meeker]

I guess that I usually saw suitcase fonts with one FOND but multiple faces in 
it.  Dan's changes to dfont loading (also in my patch) does something similar 
to your code below.

I'd vote for having freetype support multiple faces on the Mac without 
patches.  Maybe we can use Steve's changes for suitcase and everything else 
from the patch I posted?  I can take a stab at merging them and cleaning up 
any duplicate code.
