| Summary | 0000888: NetSurf fails to find fonts in EasyFontPro | ||||||||
| Description | NetSurf (recent builds, including 08 Feb 2006 0045) fails to find fonts stored by EasyFontPro and so does not offer them in its menu. Deleting rufl_cache and trying again results in NetSurf silently dying (example log from such an event attached). EasyFontPro adds its fonts to Font$Path by the macro <EasyFSPro$Fonts> which points to <EasyFSPro$Dir>.Fabis0004.^. There is no such Fabis0004 directory present and the resulting <EasyFSPro$Dir>. contains a 0 subdirectory followed by various numbered subdirectories. Presumably normally EasyFontPro does some 'magic' when the FontManager normally investigates the path. Additionally, EasyFontPro turns all the files within the original font directories into numbered files within numbered subdirectories (presumably to more efficiently store them) along with some internal record of what is what. I wonder if either or both of these factors are tripping up the 'check for Outlines data' changes to RUfl since a) the path doesn't really exist b) the structure inside is not that of normal fonts. EasyFontPro may fool the Font Manager but cannot fool the Filer, perhaps? | ||||||||
