Yes, take for example S23001.  Instead of I get this inside the font.  I
checked the svg and there actually is a filling there.  Inkscape shows
it alright (white), but the filesystem preview shows a grey area and
fontforge, as you can see, shows a black filling.

If I edit the svg file and get rid of the white fillings (see diff at
the bottom[1]) then it works more or less as expected, for some reason
the shape is a bit distorted, but still readable: .  Is there a reason
for those white fillings?  I mean, would it be ok to remove them all?

Eduardo.
