metaFont.width on apostrophe crash

if you load in a String with characters such as "’" (otherwise known apostrophe), then call metaFont.width on this string, you crash.
in 67, p5 would not crash. but it also wouldn't display these chracters either.
here is a list of possibly dangerous characters:

what's the exact code you're using to make it crash? i need to see what font (there are multiple versions of meta) & what specific character is causing trouble.
fonts changed between 67 and 68 to allow for non-ascii characters like apostrophes and umlauted vowels, but it prolly hasn't been thoroughly debugged.

void setup()
{
size( 400, 400 );
//load in friendly neighborhood font, set a size for that puppy
BFont metaFont = loadFont("Meta.vlw.gz");
textFont( metaFont, 30 );
//ok, let's load in this nice text to display with that nice font
try
{ String theresApostrophe = URLDecoder.decode( "There%E2%80%99s", "UTF-8");
System.out.println("theresApostrophe: " + theresApostrophe );
float metaFontWidth = metaFont.width(theresApostrophe);
System.out.println("metaFontWidth: " + metaFontWidth );
color( 30, 30, 30 );
text( theresApostrophe, 30, 30 );
} catch (Exception ex )
{ ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

d'oh.. set up the font lookup table wrong, so older fonts will have trouble.
if you re-create the font using the "create font", you won't have any trouble. but it's been fixed for future releases.
