# Analysis / observations / questions
* This problem did not occur in the previous versions of `rpm`. I think the
previous version I had installed was `4.14.2.1`.
* The font metadata does seem to have a malencoded copyright sign. Why does rpm
try to retrieve the font metadata anyway? rpm doesn't seem to use the file name
as a hint, because the problem also occurs if you rename the font file
(`rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/font-rpm-1.0-1.x86_64/var/www/html/OpenSans-Bold.ttf`) to
something else.
* Could this issue have something to do with the item "Fix non-deterministic
RPMTAG_CLASSDICT order (#934, regression in 4.15.0)" in the [release
notes](https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.15.1)?
* You could say that this is not an issue with rpm, if the font file metadata
is incorrect, but in any case I think this problem should not be more than a
warning.
