I'm sorry to say that there is no chance that I shall work on this again. I have too much on my plate for the foreseeable future.
But I claim (as always ;-) that the parts of the bridge code I wrote are relatively easy to follow and can probably be debugged by single-stepping and thinking hard.

Indeed. After Graham has stopped to work on this, noone has maintained this code; from time to time we've checked that compilation doesn't fail, but it hasn't been verified that it really works. > In particular, at t1gload.c:287 T1_Load_Glyph() throws > T1_Err_Invalid_Argument if the requested glyph index is larger than > num_glyphs in the face.

To help in debugging it would be great if you can provide a small stand-alone snippet which I can compile easily, together with small input data if necessary. > What can we do to fix this up?
