Re: [NTG-pdftex] Question related to .ttc support

Your patch changes pdftex so that it will treat TTC like truetype font. While it works for your case, I am not confident that it's the right way to do that. Someone with a thorough understanding of TTC format can comment on this?

IIRC, the patch will give access to the *first* font in the collection, because that has an offset of zero (which makes the first font in the ttc behave the same as a standalone ttf font, when the ttc header is ignored). You could apply the patch but not document support for ttc files (because the really patch doesn't implement that). This gives a small subset of ttc functionality, but still better than mishandling the format completely. Best wishes, Taco
