corrupted double-linked list with ipaexm.ttf

[scottkosty]

If you happen to be using Ubunu, you can install ipaexm.ttf with

sudo apt-get install fonts-ipaexfont-mincho

I then get the following error:

> library(extrafont)

> font_import()
Importing fonts may take a few minutes, depending on the number of fonts and the speed of the system.

I've seen this on a few systems, but this particular output is from Ubuntu 16.04 and:

$ R --version
R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) -- "Supposedly Educational"
> packageVersion("Rttf2pt1")
[1] ‘1.3.4’
> packageVersion("extrafont")
[1] ‘0.17’

Finally, thank you for your work on these packages! They are quite useful.

[scottkosty]

I forgot to say that if there's any other information or testing I can provide, I'd be happy to do so.

[scottkosty]

@wch No worries if you're busy but I just wanted to make sure that you saw this bug report.

[wch]

@scottkosty Can you try installing the branches Rttf2pt1 and extrafont as described here, and try again?

[scottkosty]

@wch Sure I'll let you know when I try it. Thanks.

While following those commands, I got the following error:
