    Hi 
-

 


I had a problem with 
Windows-Encoded OpenType fonts giving an error message: "could not extract font 
file name from file %s".


 


Specifically, there 
was a font called "vrinda.ttf" that was causing this 
message.


 


Problem was in 
pl/pllfont.c function get_windows_name_from_tt_file(). There was an assumption 
that the 4th entry in the name table was the one for the NameID. This is not 
always true, you should search all the entries for the one with ID 0x0004. Once 
I made this change all was well.


 


I am running Cygwin 
(with X11) under WinXP.

Also of note -- I 
was able to build under Cygwin with -lpthreads and X11 devices (no CYGWIN=TRUE), 
the only issue was that there is no libdl for the -ldl option. Once that was 
removed&nbsp;it built OK.


 




Very cool program by 
the way - I find it extremely helpful.
