JL> I have recently trying to use the fonttootf to convert a bdf
JL> font into otf.
Please note that fonttotf is in an early alpha stage; it is not meant
to be useful right now. I suggest that you should use pfaedit rather
than fonttootf for the time being.
JL> First, the bdf font is encoding in Big5 (to be exact the
JL> encoding should be Big5-HKSCS).
The current version of fonttootf requires Unicode-encoded fonts.
Being able to use fonts in legacy encodings is a planned feature for
future versions.
JL> I use gdb to take a look and found that, the cause is the
JL> absent of a 'FAMILY_NAME' so freetype just set the
JL> face->family_name to 0 and the when " full_name =
JL> malloc(strlen(face->family_name) + 1); " occurs inside read.c:81
JL> of the fontofotf, it bombs.
Noted, thanks for the report.
