"Error loading GPOS table 5503" when using katakana characters
Last modified: 2008-10-15 10:51:05 UTC
Using japanese characters from the FreeSans.ttf font in the ttf-freefont package in Debiang I get this warning: (gucharmap:7207): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 5503 To reproduce it open gucharmap and select Katakana. I'm using pango 1.20.2 on Debian unstable.
Created attachment 109330 [details] The "guilty" font The debian package info page is at http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-freefont. the font is GPL and copyrighted by FSF.
This looks like a dupe of bug #540617.

Fixed. Please test. 2008-10-14 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org> Bug 528272 – "Error loading GPOS table 5503" when using katakana characters * pango/opentype/harfbuzz-gpos.c (Load_Mark2Array): Skip parsing null anchor tables.
After applying the diff to the 1.22 deb package source and rebuilding/installing it, the warning is gone. Thanks!
