[Wojciech Muła]

Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20060822-2

FontForge fills <metadata> with some informations, including
user's full name.  Program just copy it, so if the name
contains national characters and encoding is not utf-8/latin1
(in system encoding is ISO-8859-2) XML parsers wont accept
such ill formed SVG.
