I know of 4, one more than mentioned so far - two from http://www.htit.com/english/downloads.htm (links seems broken) http://www.htit.com/download/htkt2.ttf http://www.htit.com/download/htst3.ttf [...] Given the fact that we don't know how many such fonts really exist, chances are quite high that we miss one. As a solution, I suggest that we add a function to FreeType which registers such font names. David?

Not 100% sure this is the same problem, but here is a CJK font fragment from a PDF file that exhibits nasty behavior unless #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER (and hinting not disabled).

[ft-devel] What and where are the fonts that require the unpatented hinter ?
Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to have the default build of FreeType just work when it is fed with one of these tricky TrueType CJK fonts that cannot be properly loaded without a bytecode interpreter. The idea is that the unpatented hinter will be compiled in the default build, though the auto-hinter will still be used to load the glyphs; that is, *except* if the TrueType face loader determines that the font file corresponds to one of the few well-known trick fonts. Could anyone remind me what these fonts are, and where I could find them for analysis and testing ? I believe that nearly all of them were designed by DynaLabs, but I'm a bit unsure about that. For the record, I found msgothic.ttf and gulim.ttc on the web which seem to load just fine with the auto-hinter (and produce mediocre results with the unpatented hinter anyway). This would completely remove the need for the FT_PARAM_TAG_UNPATENTED_HINTING parameter to FT_Open_Face which is currently required to load these fonts anyway.

AFAIK, it isn't distributed any more. IMHO, it is a fine piece of code: The complete Big5 character set in just 2.8MByte.
