[NTG-pdftex] [ pdftex-Bugs-874 ] problem with writettf?

Initial Comment: Hello I'm using texlive 2007 and encountered the following problem with a truetype font: [...] {/usr/local/apps/texlive-2007/texmf/fonts/enc/ttf2pk/ba se/T1-WGL4.enc} 0 && index < name_record_num && fd_cur->subset_tag != ((void *)0)' failed. Upgrading pdftex to 1.40.5 still produces the same error. My previous texlive version (2005 or 2006) didn't have that problem. Replacing Auto1-Light.ttf by another ttf, such as technicn.ttf, does not result in an error. So it's probably related to the Auto1-Light.ttf file itself, but it seems the behaviour of pdftex has changed over the years... Best regards Stefan ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: Logged In: YES user_id=929 thanks a lot for the test, but the fact that it works after the patch suggests that actually your TT font is broken (not pdftex) -- which might even generate broken or non-standard PDF files, beware! Seems the index = 0 should never happen with a normal font. So it would help a lot to have your font for inspection.

I have attached anyway the minimal testcase (generated after the suggested patch). Thanks for solving this problem!
