Hi All,

I've converted some Mac fonts with t1unmac from the t1utils package to the
endianness of my x86 PC, and am seeing strange behaviour in the GIMP.

Basically some do and some don't work. In particular one font which has
expert features like hanging numbers and small caps etc. completely
crashes GIMP - it simply disappears with out a trace. No debug monitor -
nothing.

I'm going to do some more tests with this font today, in StarOffice and
maybe blender, but maybe someone has seen this behaviour too??

The font is Utopya, it's a real adobe release and not some cheap shareware
rip-off effort. Other fonts of equal pedigree convert flawlessly.

any pointers??

kind regards,

avi bercovich
