MSSIPOTF_E_BADVERSION
A version field is not acceptable to the checker
MSSIPOTF_E_BADVERSION reports an unacceptable version number, but the public error text does not name the exact structure. OpenType contains several versioned structures: the font container uses a scalar type, and individual tables such as head, DSIG, and collection headers have their own version fields.
Do not overwrite a value merely because a different font uses it. First identify which parser stage and which structure reported the failure. A version can be valid only together with the fields and layout prescribed for that version; changing the number alone can turn a clear error into a harder-to-debug structural mismatch.
How to investigate
- Save the detailed parser log that identifies the structure, version, and expected range.
- Compare with the relevant table specification and the output of the font-building tool.
- Regenerate the table from source when the producer cannot emit a version supported by the target validator.
