Comment 1 Parag Nemade 2017-03-08 05:54:14 UTC 
Thank for reporting this bug. I am not comfortable updating fontforge in stable releases unless there is some very specific reason. So I will fix this by picking upstream patch https://github.com/jtanx/fontforge/commit/3c57c9c2482c39c9f5f18f41bda93090d2fc9a17.patch.

This patch is already available in f26+ fontforge builds.
