Hi!
Our software uses the FreeType charmap index directly to access the appropriate
cmap. (In retrospect, that was perhaps a poor design decision.)
We will need to be able to retain the existing behaviour. However, if the
original index is available somehow, we would have no problems with a
Dear David,
Thank you for information! I'm not pushing the
charmap sorting features to default behaviour, but
knowing the exist of softwares that requires the
consistency between FT2 charmap index versus TTF/OTF
cmap subtable index.
I want to ask another question about your software:
FT2
The requirement for our software is backwards compatibility with current FT2
behaviour - not for identity between FT2 charmap index and TrueType cmap
subtable index.
It is possible, however, that we have never seen heavily broken subtables and
that (some of) our code does in fact depend on

This I've already fixed yesterday.
