Re: [ft-devel] Problem with OptaneCompactExtrabold.fam font suitcase

[Deron Kazmaier]

Hello,

I have no idea where the font can be obtained legally. The user was not 
clear as to copyright and I deleted the font after getting it to work. I 
can recontact him about getting any details you might need such as 
copyright holder for the font.

I also should mention that the Apple Docs for GetResource states:

"... If you call GetResource with a resource type that can’t be found in 
any of the resource maps of the open resource forks, the function 
returns NULL, but ResError returns the result code noErr. You should 
always check that the value of the returned handle is not NULL...."

Let me know what I can do to help,

Deron
