Shortly after I wrote my last mail I also thought about symbol fonts and thought that they would probably be skipped as well with my patch. But strangely enough they are still listed by fc-list and can still be used: mfabian@magellan:~$ fc-list : family foundry style | grep -i symbol OpenSymbol:style=Regular:foundry=unknown Standard Symbols L:style=Regular:foundry=urw Symbol:style=Regular:foundry=adobe SeanSymbols:style=Regular:foundry=unknown mfabian@magellan:~$ I don't understand why though. Probably it is safer to skip only for PCF fonts like the old code did but do it without using freetype internals. -- Mike FABIAN <mfabian@xxxxxxx> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian ?????????????
