You missing change log. Please don't forget to include it in the email
body not just subject.

Also your patch is not correct. It's been discussed on wine-devel that
we should not restrict any one particular version of FontForge. Many
distros come with old  but good versions and this will add extra noise
for no good reason. And it will not catch any new versions that are
broken either...

Could someone tell me which version works the best? It seems to be a
mystery. I've been using a snapshot of fontforge from 2006-08-22.
