Issue of the Implementation # V0016

Brief

FT_Get_PS_Font_Private returns wrong unique_id values

Detailed Description

The FreeType2 API reference states that FT_Get_PS_Font_Private function retrieves the PS_PrivateRec structure corresponding to a given Postscript font. Particularly, if the Postscript font has unique ID, it should be returned in the 'unique_id' field of the 'PS_PrivateRec' structure.

Unique IDs of the 'n019023l.pfb' and 'n021003l.pfb' fonts from the attached example are 5020908 and 5020931, respectively (see the "/UniqueID" records in these font files).

FT_Get_PS_Font_Private, however, returns different unique ID values for these fonts.
