Do you really think that this is of any use today? There are much better font formats than BDF, even for bitmaps!
I agree, but sometimes we don't get to choose :-)
My perhaps naïve idea is to change the above to: if ( (size_t)p->glyph_enc >= sizeof ( p->have ) * 136 ) And as well modify 'have' of the _bdf_parse_t structure as: unsigned long have[34816]; /* was: have[2048] */This seems like a sensible starting point, and I invite you to contribute such changes to FreeType. Note, however, that this static extension must be controlled by an #ifdef in ftoption.h and disabled by default, I think. Alternatively, you might go a more complicated route, namely, to replace the static `have' structure with a dynamic one -- this would be a good idea anyway and could be included without such an #ifdef guard.
OK. Probably getting in over my head (hence my original post) but I will see what I can do. Given the issue of usefulness in general as discussed above, perhaps this kind of thing is best kept as a private build?
In toying around with this since I first brought it up, I note that simply changing the size of 'have' to [34816] seems sufficient (that is: FreeType will open and display the font data). But as I expressed originally, I'm not sure what else I'd be breaking by doing this.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your feedback. Josh _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
