$ c++filt 
_ZTI8FontFile 
typeinfo for FontFile
_ZTI13Type1FontFile 
typeinfo for Type1FontFile
_ZTI14Type1CFontFile 
typeinfo for Type1CFontFile
_ZTI16TrueTypeFontFile
typeinfo for TrueTypeFontFile

Very weird, as these types should be generated by the compiler.  Is
this the very first file the C++ compiler tries to compile?

I tried with "g++-3.2 (GCC) 3.2.1 20020924 (Debian prerelease)" which

It surely looks to me like this particular _pre_release of g++ is
broken.
