Re: [ft-devel] FreeType version 2.2.1 released

[James Cloos]

Changing line 194 of your patch from:

    if ( strike_index != 0xFFFFU )

to

    if ( strike_index != 0xFFFFU && ft_face->available_sizes != NULL)

avoids a NULL dereference in FT_Do_SBit_Metrics() in ftfuncs.c.

After that change I can't crash xfs, but any ttf font (sfnt/glyf font)
showns only odd glyphs in a 16bit encoding such as iso10646-1.  8bit
encodings work fine, as do type1 fonts.

stderr reports:

/usr/bin/xfs error: Warning: FreeTypeRasteriseGlyph() returns an error,
/usr/bin/xfs error:     so the backend tries to set a white space.

I've done some debugging in gdb, but have not figured it out, yet.
