The changelog doesn't seem to indicate that the upstream patch was applied.  This seems to be fixed in upstream master on November 16th, 2016 as per ( https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2490 ).

This may or may not address / relate to https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2943.  The issues seem to contradict each other about whether the same merged patch set addresses both.

This comes up as an issue with many packages (e.g., https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/dkg-handwriting.html seems to be impacted by 2490 and https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/essays1743.html seems to be impacted by 2943 ).  

Thanks,

Justin
