[transform-swf-updates] BUG: Version 2.3.2 - Using high value characters causes errors in FSTextConstructor

[News on r. b. a. p. f. T. S. f. J. <tra...@li...>]

In Transform SWF 2.3.2, when displaying characters with a character code 
of 16384 or more then an exception is thrown:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -3999
at com.flagstone.transform.util.FSTextConstructor.advancesForGlyphIndice 
(Unknown Source)
at com.flagstone.transform.util.FSTextConstructor.defineText(Unknown
Source).

The problem is the use of short[] for the tables used to index the 
glyphs. When a character code of 16384 or higher is stored in a table 
and read back it is not bit-masked so the value gets sign-extended. The 
result is that a negative value is used to index into the table 
containing the advances for each character.

A patch has been uploaded for the ticket: 
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/transform-swf/ticket/123

A new release will be posted at the end of April once one other issue 
regarding the display of fonts on Mac OS X systems, see Ticket 124 has 
been resolved.
