Re: MacOSX opentype fonts with freetype2 (Re: [porting-dev] MacOSX and Japanese (maybe others as well) fonts, Tofu again)

Hi,

> Why OpenType fonts shipped with MacOSX are not recognized by freetype2?

Do you mean "why are they not found by OOo"?

It probably is the combination of
1. they are in the dfont format, which is not directly understood by OOo
2. most are CFF style OpenType fonts => OOo cannot embed them yet => it
cannot print them
3. they are not in psprint's font search path
4. their SFNT version says "OTTO" instead of 0x00010000, so psprint doesn't
recognize them as fonts it can handle

1. can be worked around by running the fondu tool, native support would be
even better though
2. is on the radar for OOo 3
3. and 4. are easy to fix, but without 2. these fixes would be worthless
