Updated to 2.1.3 (from 2.0.8) and found some Mac bugs. One has crept in
since 2.0.8, and one has been there for a long time.
1. file_spec_from_path() for TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON is broken.
FSPathMakeRef() takes a pascal string (as most, if not all, Mac path
functions do), but a C string is passed to it. So it always fails.
The NON-carbon code there works for both cases, so the
TARGET_API_MAX_CARBON code should be removed. The new function should just be:
/* Given a pathname, fill in a file spec. */
static int
file_spec_from_path( const char* pathname,
FSSpec* spec )
{
Str255 p_path;
FT_ULong path_len;
/* convert path to a pascal string */
path_len = ft_strlen( pathname );
if ( path_len > 255 )
return -1;
p_path[0] = (unsigned char)path_len;
ft_strncpy( (char*)p_path + 1, pathname, path_len );
if ( FSMakeFSSpec( 0, 0, p_path, spec ) != noErr )
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
2. multi-resource .dfont files dont seem to work. If I try to load the
second or third FOND from a dfont file (like Helvetica.dfont, etc) to get
the Bold or Italic versions, it doesn't work for some reason. I'm looking
into this now.
