Wed May 27 07:14:21 CEST 2015

Dear All,

I am trying the build a parametric English voice using the recent git
version of MaryTTS, with OpenJDK 1.7 installed.

the following Exception list:

Looking at the error highlighted in red colour, there is no such character
in that sentence.
Exploring the issues on marytts, this is an old issue #285, raised in
Feb'2015. It is mentioned on this commit "Merge branch 'fix-285"
https://github.com/marytts/marytts/commit/a84e5d8f6d4e4b88e7768ace49d5bdfc8c6db0e5
that it is fixed. I cloned this commit and tried to build voice again, but
it too failed with same Exception.

If anyone has faced the same issue and addressed fixing it and continued in
successful voice building, please share how to fix and continue.

Thank you
Anil
