I don't think that's necessary. The FreeType code appears to always look at the checksums if the name doesn't match, which is sufficient for my use. (I guess there's a possibility that the tricky mode would be enabled unnecessarily if someone renamed a font so that it just happened to match one of the known-tricky names. But that seems really unlikely.) - Derek _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
