Re: [ft] FT_Open_Face

[suzuki toshiya]

I wanted you to execute ftdump onto some font file, and check
if the library is corrected built and able to parse some font file...
You say that your software using FreeType2 is very complicated
and could not pass arbitrary-chosen font file to your software?
