In other words, Microsoft removed support for GETVARIATION and GETDATA in its bytecode engine but forgot to update the validator program. Argh - I think I understand it a lot better than I did a year ago now. It is not that the two font uses Apple-specific instructions, but that it does things Microsoft-specific way, and depends on the rendering engine being non-Apple. :-). Same thing - I think a proper description of the problem is that "these font use instructions which have different meanings on different rendering engines". The validator program does flag Skia.ttf having Apple-specific instructions also, but that's fully expected that Apple ships fonts with apple-specific instructions. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
