FT_New_Face Error 1 makes it no further work

[Socrate M]

Hello,

I'm working on a project in OpenGL on Windows and I use FreeType to load the fonts. It almost works every time but sometimes, when the application is loading many things, FT_New_Face returns 1 and then I can no further load fonts. So I can't reload them later when needed and I have to restart the application.
The only topic that I found talking about something like that is that one :http://old.nabble.com/PATCH%3A-Do-not-do-further-load-font-attempts-if-a-previous-attempt-has-failed-but-returned-error-FNT_Err_Invalid_File_Format-td11188324.html#a11188324

Thank you for your help, if you have any idea.

Sincerely,
Socrate

This patch has been applied two years ago.  Are you using the current
FreeType version, 2.3.11?

If the problem persists you have to find a way to reliably reproduce
the problematic behaviour.  You should finally construct a small C or
C++ program which we can further debug.

Hello, you were right I didn't have the last version of FreeType but I still have the problem. With the debug version I could see that the file can really not be open. I'll try to find why sometimes "fopen" is not working. Thank you for your help.
