  Why would the same source work in XE6 but not in XE7?

  Possibly different behavior of code in the XE6 and XE7

  Something that might help, and I may do if the problem is too hard, is to run XE6 and XE7 in different VM's and put XE6 on one monitor and XE7 on the other and step through the code together and see where the difference is.

  I found the fix:
  
  Change the source in unit frxCmapTableClass line 193 to the below:
  
  The solution was to get rid of casting a pointer to a dynamic array.
  

      function CmapTableClass.LoadSignedCmapSegment(segment_ptr: Pointer; segment_count: Integer ): TSmallintArray;
      var
        i: Integer;
        WordPtr : ^Word;
      begin
          SetLength(Result, segment_count);
          WordPtr := segment_ptr;
          i := 0;
          while ((i < segment_count)) do
          begin
              Result[i] := TTF_Helpers.SwapInt16(WordPtr^);
              inc(i);
              Inc(WordPtr);
          end;
      end;
