Hi Lars,
I just ran into this issue too.
prTTFont is leaking file handles.
If you start a long process printing many PDFs, and get the pid, then
you can check /proc/*pid-here*/fd and you'll see the same TTF file
opened many times.
I hope you can fix it. For now the only workaround is probably forking
the dirty parts of my scripts process.
