MSSIPOTF_E_BAD_FIRST_TABLE_PLACEMENT
The first table overlaps the font metadata area
MSSIPOTF_E_BAD_FIRST_TABLE_PLACEMENT means the first table record points into bytes reserved for the Offset Table or Table Directory. The checker sees a layout in which payload data begins before the metadata that is needed to locate it has ended.
This is a layout error even when the first table bytes look valid in isolation. It commonly follows an incorrect table count, a directory generated with the wrong record size, or a compaction step that moved data without updating the first offset. Compare the calculated end of the directory with the smallest table offset.
How to investigate
- Compute the complete header-plus-directory size from the actual number of records.
- Verify that the lowest table offset is after that metadata area and has the expected alignment.
- Rebuild the complete directory and placement map rather than moving only the first table.
