+
+	Improvement of POSIX resource-fork accessor to load unsorted
+	references in a resource. In HelveLTMM (resource-fork
+	PostScript Type1 font bundled to Mac OS X since 10.3.x),
+	the appearance order of PFB chunks is not sorted.
+	Sorting the chunks by reference IDs is required.
+
+	* include/freetype/internal/ftrfork.h (FT_RFork_Ref):
+	New structure type to store a pair of reference ID and offset
+	to the chunk.
+
+	* src/base/ftrfork.c (ft_raccess_sort_ref_by_id):
+	New function to sort FT_RFork_Ref by their reference ID.
+
+	(FT_Raccess_Get_DataOffsets): Returns an array of offsets
+	that is sorted by reference ID.

 	* src/cff/cffparse.c (cff_parse_real): Don't apply `power_ten'
