Issue of the Implementation # S0605

Brief

The FcFileScan function doesn't add fonts from some font files

Detailed Description

The description of the function FcFileScan states: "Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to set". But it doesn't add a font from the given font file.

Problem location(s) in the standard

Fontconfig Developers Reference, Version 2.4.2

Example

#define	FILE_PATH		"UTBI__10-ISO8859-10.pcf.gz"  //the font file name
	FcConfig		*fc;
	FcFontSet 		*set;
	FcStrSet		*dirs;
	FcBlanks		*blanks;

	FcInit ();
	if (!(fc = FcConfigGetCurrent ()))
	{
		printf ("Could not get current config
");
	}
	if (!(set = FcFontSetCreate ()))
	{
		printf ("Could not create font sets
");
	}
	if (!(dirs = FcStrSetCreate ()))
	{
		printf ("Could not create str set
");
	}
	if (!(blanks = FcConfigGetBlanks (fc)))
	{
		printf ("Could not create blanks
");
	}	

	FcFileScan (set, dirs, 0, blanks, (FcChar8 *)FILE_PATH, FcTrue);

        /*
     	 * Scans a single file and adds all fonts found to set
         * 
         * set->nfont should not be 0 but it is.
     	 */
