[Bf-committers] linking suggestion

[bf-committers@blender.org]

While compiling on windows in msvc++ 6 I keep getting these warnings and
errors about the FTF font module. I can live with them but they're kinda
annoying as they pop up under every compile. The problem seems to be that
there are local functions being called as part of a class which no longer
exist (I guess) or are not defined in the class definition, so the compiler
is taking them as a local function declarations.
The Error() call flags an unresolved external linking error under msvc and
needs to be commented out for compilation.
Like I said this is really more of an annoyance than a problem but since
it's a linking error it can't easily be suppressed (like the ~8,500 other
warnings msvc gives during compile :) I don't want to screw with this module
as I don't know enough about the font code, but if someone gets the chance
this would make visual c++ compiles less painful.
