RE: [Freetype] Font distribution woes

Thanks for the advice.

In looking at the docs for FT_New_Memory_Face, it seems to 
work by you providing a pointer to memory. If that's
correct then I can't use this technique because some of 
the fonts we want to use are megabytes in size, due to 
Asian glyphs. 

Now if there was a function that took a file handle and 
you gave it a starting offset and length, then I could 
use it. Would FT_Attach_Stream or some other function be 
able to do something like this?

In our app we put all TrueType font files in a single file, we call it
Font Package. Than we use FT_New_Memory_Face to render a single font
from that package. Font Package is simple concatenation of TrueType
fonts with preceding simple catalog table containing offset to font
file and its size.
