Basically, I agree. It would be possible to rewrite `check_table_dir'
and `tt_face_load_font_dir' so that it ignores table directory entries
with invalid offsets instead. Ideally, there should be support for
FT_VALIDATE_xxx settings so that strict behaviour can be enforced.
Can you provide a patch?
