While the exact numerical code "[4038647]" may be a specific system memory address or internal reference, "OTS-067" typically points to an error encountered during the validation of a font file.
The string you provided, followed by garbled characters, most likely refers to a corrupt web font error processed by the OpenType Sanitizer (OTS) library . Understanding "OTS-067 [4038647]"
The string of "mojibake" (e.g., гЂђж... ) following the identifier is the result of a character encoding error . This happens when data intended to be one format (like UTF-8) is misinterpreted by another (like Windows-1252 or Latin-1). How to Fix the Error If you are seeing this error while developing or browsing: ots-sanitize(1) — opentype-sanitizer — Debian testing
If a font is "sanitized," it means the library found structural errors that could potentially be used for security exploits. When validation fails, the browser rejects the font, often logging an error that includes the source file and a specific line or code in the OTS library (such as line 67 in a specific source file).
This is a security library used by browsers like Chromium (Chrome, Edge) and Firefox to parse and validate font files (TTF, OTF, WOFF) before they are rendered.
Following many of the titles in our Wind Ensemble catalog, you will see a set of numbers enclosed in square brackets, as in this example:
| Description | Price |
|---|---|
| Rimsky-Korsakov Quintet in Bb [1011-1 w/piano] Item: 26746 |
$28.75 |
The bracketed numbers tell you the precise instrumentation of the ensemble. The first number stands for Flute, the second for Oboe, the third for Clarinet, the fourth for Bassoon, and the fifth (separated from the woodwinds by a dash) is for Horn. Any additional instruments (Piano in this example) are indicated by "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign.
This woodwind quartet is for 1 Flute, no Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 Bassoon, 1 Horn and Piano.
Sometimes there are instruments in the ensemble other than those shown above. These are linked to their respective principal instruments with either a "d" if the same player doubles the instrument, or a "+" if an extra player is required. Whenever this occurs, we will separate the first four digits with commas for clarity. Thus a double reed quartet of 2 oboes, english horn and bassoon will look like this:
Note the "2+1" portion means "2 oboes plus english horn"
Titles with no bracketed numbers are assumed to use "Standard Instrumentation." The following is considered to be Standard Instrumentation:

The first number stands for Trumpet, the second for Horn, the third for Trombone, the fourth (separated from the first three by a dot) for Euphonium and the fifth for Tuba. Any additional instruments (Tympani in this example) are indicated by a "w/" (meaning "with") or by using a plus sign. While the exact numerical code "[4038647]" may be
Thus, the Copland Fanfare shown above is for 3 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, no Euphonium, 1 Tuba and Tympani. There is no separate number for Bass Trombone, but it can generally be assumed that if there are multiple Trombone parts, the lowest part can/should be performed on Bass Trombone. ) following the identifier is the result of
