Hmm.  If so many fonts are broken, it's probably worth to add a hack
to FreeType's cmap support so that they can be successfully handled.
What do you think?  Can you investigate?

Yes, of course. Now I'm investigating the problem.

I guess there might be existing hacks for Dynalab
fonts since freetype-1 era. If anybody knows
recommended patches, please let me know.

I'm not aware of `hacks' which have been intentionally omitted, so I
guess this has to be fixed with a new change.
