libfreetype.a

Hi there,

    I'm currently running xorg as my xserver. I compiled freetype and installed it in /usr and /usr/X11R6 as
suggested in Upgrade.unx. When loading the freetype module xorg complains about freetypeModuleData
missing. I have backed up my libFreetype.a from the freetype lib that came with my distro. It does have the
freetypeModuleData function listed under ftmodule.o in libfreetype.a. (this is completly missing
from the new libfreetype.a) So my question is what can I do? is this a Xserver problem or a compilation
problem or...

With best regards
   Miro P.

This seems to be an Xserver problem: Vanilla FreeType 2 never had a
function or data structure called `freetypeModuleData'.

Re: mkfontscale and freetype2

Doing

  grep 'FT_*.('

in mkfontscale.c (from XFree86 4.3.0), I get the following functions:

  FT_Init_FreeType
  FT_Get_Sfnt_Name
  FT_New_Face
  FT_Get_PS_Font_Info
  FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names
  FT_Get_Name_Index
  FT_Get_Char_Index
  FT_Set_Charmap

You might check the X source tree yourself; uou can find the program
in

  xc/programs/mkfontscale

In case you can't solve the problem, I suggest you only build a static
library with

  ./configure --disable-shared --enable-static

Re: linking libz.a - problems building freetype2 on solaris 7

Please recollect I had send a mail with Subj: Compiling problem: 
Freetype2 on Solaris. I described about problem compiling freetype 2 on 
solaris. My compilation also resulted in same kind error as shown here. 
I will as well like to fix the problem.

Thanks

Re: linking libz.a - problems building freetype2 on solaris 7

Hello,

it seems you're trying to generate a DLL (shared object on Unix)
using a static library (libz.a). This cannot work, since you need
the shared version of zlib (i.e. libz.so) to do that...

Hope this helps,

Re: linking libz.a - problems building freetype2 on solaris 7

Problem (sort of) solved: I removed support for compressed font files by 
commenting out the following lines from 
freetype/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h

/* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_LZW */
/* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_ZLIB */
/* #define  FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB */

I know its not a fix per se, but since I don't need support for 
compressed font files on this system I'm not going to worry about it :)

Getting number of shapes in Font File

Hello,

For some reason, I need to know the number of shapes in the font file in
FTXGSUB.C's function load_GSUB. Can you please send me the code for getting
the number of glyphs in the font file?
