Fixed in git. Thanks for the report!

Reason was buggy bytecode created by an older version of ttfautohint.

Please open a bug report for Lato: They should re-hint the font with a recent version of ttfautohint.

Reverting that change in the head (ToT) resolved the problem.

I did a bisect between FreeType 2.7.1 (which was fine) and b31053476.

It's 43061d6a93 that introduced this issue.

bffb7fe90b1a3403e has the same problem.

How to reproduce:

1. Download https://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts/fonts-lato
2. Run the following to extract Lato fonts
$ ar vx fonts-lato_2.0-1_all.deb
$ tar -xvf data.tar.xz

3. Run ftview 24 Lato-Regular.ttf -m 'Abcd Quick brown fox'

Expected: Glyphs in Lato (mode 1) are shown

Actual: Only FreeType options are shown.

FreeType 2.7 does not have this problem, but FreeType (as of b31053476cac) has this problem
