Bug in gfont?

[Rafael Cordones Marcos <nospam@thanx>]

Hi,

I think I found a bug in gfont... well, sorry, in gfont.wml

>From the wml::des:gfont man page I understand that I can define a 
GFONT_BASE variable so I can place all generated images in a
directory. The problem is that if you have two wml files and they both
use the <big > tag then gfont images generated by the second file
overwrite the first's. I am using WML 1.6.8

This is because gfont.wml uses a global variable that gets initialized
to 0 for every wml file. I solved this by adding 

-----------gfont.wml--------
   #   (note %0 has to be preserved because of Pass2, i.e. MetaHTML)
   $file = sprintf("%s.gfont%"."03d.gif", $base, $gfont_cnt++);

   # Maybe the file already exists
   while (-e $file) {
      $file = sprintf("%s.gfont%"."03d.gif",
      $base, $gfont_cnt++);
   }
----------------------------

BUT... now I think that following invocations of wml on those files
will create ALLWAYS new GIF files and leave the other file unusable. :(
