Re: [ft-devel] SOLVED: Bug on PowerPC: Illegal Intruction in FT_Get_Name_Index

[Clemens Koller]

Hello!

Well, some time has passed, and freetype-2.1.10 was released.
I've just verified your bugfix for (some) PowerPC systems where
an aliasing problem in FT_Get_Name_Index have lead to an
Illegal Instruction when processing Type1 fonts with mkfontscale.

Here, is my build log:
        cd ~/newbuild
        tar xjvf freetype-2.6.10.tar.bz2
        cd freetype-2.6.10
        ./configure --prefix=/usr
        make
        su -
        make install
        ldconfig
        exit
        cd ~/newbuild/xc/programs/mkfontscale
        make clean
        make
        cp ../../Fonts/scale/Type1 . -r
        ./mkfontscale Type1
        less Type1/fonts.scale
                3
                UTBI____.pfa -adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
                UTBI____.pfa -adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
                UTBI____.pfa -adobe-utopia-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
                [...]

mkfontscale is working fine now with the new freetype libs.
So, this issue should be solved now.

Best greets,

Clemens Koller
