Thank you. I reread my code. When I wrote ftrfork.c with Toshiya-san,
I thought it was over designed. However, now I know it is not enough.

FT_Raccess_Guess function is not enough to handle this mechanism.

FT_Raccess_Guess just guesses one file name. Then IsMacResource reads
the file gusseted by FT_Raccess_Guess. However, on Leopard, two files
are needed; one for POST and another for sfnt.

(I'll take time about this topic. )
