Alright so lets hope that issue gets resolved soon.

Do I need to inform the upstream about this?. Setting -I might fix it
but again it might break others isn't it?. I mean the ones with
fontforge/*.h syntax in the upstream code.

Do we need to file bug on mensis?.

I checked this is because of same case as above fontforge uses
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ and uses glib.h but probably pdf2htmlex does
not set -I and probably ends in this error.

Question is how to deal with this error?. Tell upstream or ask fontforge
to fix their headers?.

I need to look at these fonts on why its failing. Do you have build logs
for these?.
