+	[truetype] Always check the checksum to identify tricky fonts.
+
+	Some PDF generators mangle the family name badly, prioritize
+	the check by the sfnt table checksums than the check by the
+	family name.  For sample PDF, see
+	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2011-04/msg00073.html
+
+	* src/truetype/ttobjs.c (tt_check_trickyness): Exchange the order
+	of tt_check_trickyness_family() and tt_check_trickyness_sfnt_ids().
+

 	[autofit] Add more Indic scripts with hanging baseline.
