Bug #: 31694 Summary: A ton of 'error loading char 255 - bad news!' errors when compiling wine with newer Freetype Product: Wine Version: 1.5.12 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: download, source Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: fonts AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
This may be a bug in Freetype, but I couldn't get an answer on #winehackers last time I asked...
$ cd ~/wine-git/fonts $ make clean && make &> log $ grep -c 'bad news' log 1688
So either: A) there's a wine bug to fix B) the error should be ignored (and the fprintf removed) C) there's an upstream bug
