Thanks for filing this upstream. ;)
Created attachment 617672 [details] Commit that fixed this The version of the GASP table didn't used to be saved to the SFD at all. This was fixed upstream on 2011-09-18 with commit a0fd436141fa402056ec9f247b3f50cf2b3ecb31, by appending the GASP version to the end of the GASPTable: line of the SFD, and reading it back correctly. (Sorry, can't patch this today, but feel free if you have time, Kevin.)
Thanks Paul for pointing towards patch. I have done scratch build with it http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4532402 Still this does not solve problem fully. Fontforge is not able to store 4th and 5th column of GASP table that is Symmetric Smoothing and Grid Fitting W/ Sym-Smoothing. Does any development happened on this as well?
I think we need to move F17 to FontForge version 20120731-b. This is already in Rawhide (and, I think, F18). There have been plenty of common crashers fixed since the last release, and this is probably our last chance to update that doesn't bring with it a heap of user interface changes. As an aside: Pravin, if you wish to file any more bugs upstream (and it's great that you're willing to do so), please use the tracker on GitHub instead of SourceForge, as that is the new upstream. The current list is here: https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues?state=open
Yes sure. Might be we should update, upstream URL in spec file as well.
I'm ok with a f17 bugfix only update... ;) Can you push it out Paul?
