The pack(3p) a few lines below is probably not > affected by endianness because 'H' is not a binary format. Only gropdf handles the binary type .pfb fonts, so it is unlikely to be an issue elsewhere. The font specification says:- Table 1 Header for a binary segment:- Byte Position Description Byte 1: always 128 (decimal) Byte 2: integer segment type (see above) Bytes 3–6: length of data segment, with byte 6 as the most significant byte. Bytes 7–length: data segment So the font files I am trying to load will always be little endian. Cheers
