@PamelaHampton - Your "Worked" and "Broken" versions list the same versions. And I can't tell which versions you are showing in the video. Can you please list which versions that you tested in the video?

@Harley This was my test, sorry if I was misleading.
I got confused in the files, although it seemed to me that in the end I specified everything correctly ... I'll fix it now!

(This is the maximum accuracy that I have to identify the error based on the versions I have on my computer.)

@PamelaHampton And thank you for your report.

Weird about these dates though is that I only added the ability to use Wingding and symbol fonts with a commit on 2021-08-04 ae920d789e. Therefore it makes sense that it is reported working on 2021-08-31. But then the "Broken" date is just a month later.

That patch did not alter check_freetypefont, which is what is failing now. And although I have mucked around in that area, I'm not seeing any changes that explain this change of behavior. It appears that we always have not set an explicit character map in that function. It fails on FT_Get_First_Char because no character map is selected because the font does not have a Unicode charmap.

I suspect this behavior change might be from an updated version of FreeType, which no longer chooses something else when fonts don't have a Unicode character map. It works fine if I explicitly set the character set in the same way it does in other places.

Will submit a patch.

Also, the foreign language fonts don't work either. Also, if you type with MS Spanish keyboard accents are not shown. Two different issues, but thought I should mention them.

Thanks,
Pam

Anything different from what is described in this bug report should be submitted as a separate bug report. We can't really track off-topic comments for action.
