Hi Vlad,
thanks for taking your time on this. What does your m_fontfile
contain? My contains something like
/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts//tahoma.ttf -- note the double slash
between the font name and the path. I have initially tried to do
exactly what you do in the else branch, but ended up trying to open
/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts//tahoma.u2g, which it would refuse to
open because of the double slash. That's why I went looking for
"//"; the else branch was meant to try to open the file in current
directory, since I concluded that if there is no "//" then the the font
name is unqualified. We can, of course add an extra else if ... else
to test for a single slash to, but what puzzles me is why on my
machine the font name is separated from the path by "//" and on
yours by single '/'. Any ideas?
I will make a small change so that we can satisfy both cases for
the time being.
Tomas
