It's either their bug (that they will fix) or a bug in some library in how it uses FreeType (in which case they will help you identify it). (Re your other question, that is, disabling certain glyphs in certain fonts, there's been patches proposed for it to this list before, but it's not in fontconfig yet.) -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
