Re: [ft] cannot open some fonts on mac and linux

[Riccardo Cohen]

I ran ftdump with this flag and the font was open correctly. my program 
could now read all suitcase.

But does this mean that I will have problem and conflicts between 
quickdraw and freetype ? Is there any documentation about the troubles 
you spoke about ?
