Ok, so what would be a test program for this that
imitates what
application is doing? Do you know why application is using this font in
a first place? Does it iterate over all of them? Freetype is indeed
capable of handling it, both with or without color, as ftview shows.
I didn't
see application actually trying to use it, it just loads it along with a bunch of other
fonts and breaks with division by zero exception when GetOutlineTextMetrics() is not
working (probably just finding the font through some enumeration).
My test program tries to load that ttf file and that doesn't work on Windows, my
initial understanding was that we shouldn't as well if it breaks things. This ttf
apparently can't be used on Windows through Windows functions, if only an app will
load and render it directly without using winapi for that.
An interesting test case would be to see how some real-life bitmap only or color bitmap
only ttf behaves on Windows if it can be loaded, do you have such an example in mind? I
was struggling to find one but could not. Maybe such ttf are not supported on Windows at
all?
