[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#590844: fontforge: randomly fails to open files specified as relative path on command line
Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20090923-2+b1
Severity: normal
When sfd file is specified as relative path in command line argument,
fontforge fails to open certain files. For example, in my case:
$ fontforge ../../tlwg/TlwgMono-BoldOblique.sfd
It pops up a dialog saying:
Couldn't open font
The requested file, TlwgMono-BoldOblique.sfd does not exist
But the file does exist and is a valid sfd file. If I try another way:
$ cd ..
$ fontforge ../tlwg/TlwgMono-BoldOblique.sfd
it works! The weird thing is that it only fails on certain files. Some other
files in the same folder is opened just fine.
