OK.

What problem do you want to solve? > I just need the file pointer outside the stream to extract the font specific values from the font file. The problem which I am facing is that the ` stream->descriptor.pointer` is not returning a correct pointer to the file and thus causing errors. I tried finding the error in the FT_Stream_Open function but could not find the problem. And using fopen explicitly twice might create errors later.
