#30745: xdvipdfmx not able to use /System/Library/*.dfont fonts, freetype --with- old-mac-fonts involved ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: pguyot@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.1 Keywords: | Port: texlive-bin,freetype ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ xdvipdfmx (port texlive-bin) is tricked into believing it is not configured on a Mac. The reason is that it needs FreeType function FT_GetFilePath_From_Mac_ATS_Name, which is only provided with FreeType 2.4.6 if configured with --with-old-mac-fonts. As a result, xdvipdfmx cannot work with MacOS-specific font files, including both old (resource-based) fonts and new (data-fork based) fonts, such as /System/Library/*.dfont (e.g. Helvetica and Helvetica Neue in 10.6.8). FreeType is no longer compiled with --with-old-mac-fonts since r42513 because of bug #15909. If the conflict with gd2 is still present, we could make this a variant of freetype. If it is not, I believe we should provide freetype with-old-mac- fonts by default as we used to. Attached are conservative diffs with a variant for freetype and texlive- bin. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30745> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
