[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #4876 The wrong font name is embedded by using some OTF / OTC fonts

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues]

Hmm. We could implement a work-around for the problematic FreeType versions, circumventing the buggy function (cff_get_ps_name in FreeType's src/cff/cffdrivr.c) by directly accessing cff->font_name. We would also have to copy the CFF_FontRec structure from src/cff/cfftypes.h so that we get the font_name field offset.

Very ugly, of course, but probably justified due to the importance of the fix.

If I understand correctly, this caused by FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.

For example, if you use a non-Japanese (e.g. Chinese or Korean) font in NotoSansCJK.ttc ver. 1.004, FreeType 2.5.5 gets a Japanese postscript name.

Therefore, LilyPond might embed the fonts with wrong postscript name if you use FreeType 2.5.5 or earlier.
Even if the name is wrong, the glyphs are correct.

FreeType 2.6+ is fixed it.

For LilyPond official site's binaries:
Current GUB uses FreeType 2.4.12.
So I'm making the GUB's patch which update FreeType.

For others:
Bump up required or recommended version of FreeType?
