Comment # 8 on bug 918466 from Ismail Donmez

The reason ftdump works is because its directly using face->family_name instead
of t1info.

Here is a sample program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
#include FT_TRUETYPE_IDS_H 
#include FT_TYPE1_TABLES_H

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int rc;
  const char *family = NULL;
  FT_Face face;
  FT_Library ft_library;
  PS_FontInfoRec t1info;

  rc = FT_Init_FreeType(&ft_library);
  if (rc) {
    printf("Can't initialize FreeType library\n");
    return 1;
  }

  rc = FT_New_Face(ft_library, argv[1], 0, &face);
  if (rc) {
    printf("Can't create a face.\n");
    return 1;
  }

  rc = FT_Get_PS_Font_Info(face, &t1info);
  if (rc) {
    printf("Can't get font info: error %d\n", rc);
    return 1;
  }

  printf("Family (face): %s\n", face->family_name);
  printf("Family (t1info): %s\n", t1info.family_name);

  return 0;
}

Makefile:

CC:=clang

ft: ft.c
        $(CC) -g $(shell pkg-config --cflags freetype2) ft.c -o ft $(shell
pkg-config --libs freetype2)

clean:
        rm -f ft *.o

Now see the output:

./ft hrgrr.pfa                                              
Family (face): Hershey-Gothic-German
Family (t1info): (null)
