Comment 8 for bug 167337

The windows gtk28 package that shipped with 0.44 (Bob's
package from 2006-06-17) seems to have new version of
libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll, so the binary patch mentioned here
won't work. I can't work out how to change the new
libpangowin32. I see bytes 04 75 at offset 3aa0, but
changing them doesn't help, and causes silent crashes. Can
the new library be patched?

This bug has already got three duplicates (1512136, 1513843
& 1514592 since 0.44 was released. Can I nominate it to be
fixed for 0.44.1 (by a patched binary or otherwise). Since
the assertion in shape.c was removed this patch is safer.
