Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (2)

fntfilst.h
[+] struct _FontRenderer (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Field fileSuffix became const.	The value of this field is expected to be const in new library version, but can be modified by old applications.
2	Type of field fileSuffix has been changed from char* to char const*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
