[ft-devel] ftvalid

[George Williams]

I tried ftvalid for the first time today.

At first it just told me that every font I fed it was invalid. I
discovered this was because the default freetype does not include the
validation modules. After changing modules.cfg everything passed.

I wonder... would it be possible to have FT_OpenType_Validate return
something other than FT_Err_Invalid_Argument if the validation service
is not present, and have ftvalid check for the <service missing> error
and generate an error saying that the service isn't present rather than
that the font is invalid?

I found it a little confusing to have the default build tell me
everything was invalid. It would be nicer to know that the font might be
ok, but I need to rebuild the library...
