Hello, I am using freetype in a personal fork of the text/graphical links browser and have the following issue since a few months ago.
As of version 6.12.2, a single glyph from FreeSerif.ttf (from http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/) cannot be loaded any more, namely code point 0xBB (">>", guillemotright). This small program demonstrates the problem: http://volkerschatz.com/tmp/freetype2-0xBB.c With my current freetype version, 6.12.3, it fails, but when LD_PRELOADing version 6.12.1, it succeeds. As far as I can tell, the problem occurs only with FreeSerif.ttf and only with glyph 0xBB. The error code is 0x15, "invalid composite glyph". As far as I can see with fontforge, this looks like a composite glyph, as each of the ">" angles has a caption "guilsinglright" attached. But the same goes for 0xAB (guillemotleft), which loads OK with the current freetype library. I do not have the tools to investigate the font file further. Should I file a bug report for freetype, am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug in FreeSerif.ttf? Thanks in advance for any help. Volker PS: I am using Arch Linux.
