Hi all,

in my application i have problems with some fonts, which every character 
displayed as box.
After analyzing the fonts, it seem's that freetype can't handle some fonts from 
Linguist's Software. 
Windows can dispay this fonts correctly. I found in context with this fonts a 
report on
 
http://www.nabble.com/GetTextMetricsA-doesn't-return-proper-First-Last-Char-for-Wingdings-Font-td5597321.html
 
"We also have an interesting finding: 
Although Symbol font is determined by a symbol bit flag in OS2 table 
ulCodePageRange1 combined with a symbol cmap subtable in TTF file, 
Window seems not respecting this rule. Practically, Windows treat any 
fonts with symbol cmap subtable as symbol font (sample TT fonts are MT 
Extra, CityBlueprint, CommercialPi BT, CountryBlueprint, EuroRoman, 
PanRoman, Romantic, SansSerif, SuperFrench, Technic, UniversalMath1 BT, 
etc). In the test package, statement "P20" proves this point. 


Any ideas, how to handle this fonts with freetype?
 
Thanks
  Andreas
