It is definitely Skia.ttf itself, and not its permissions. After my
upgrade to Mavericks, I got a fresh Skia.ttf (491796 bytes), and even
though the permissions were fine (644), it crashes luatex, standalone
fontforge, and ttx.
The fontforge crash is in the code for handling AAT’s Multiple
Masters-like thing, and Skia is the only ever publicly available font
that implements it.
The font opens fine in our SortsMill fork because we dropped that code,
together with support for other AAT table since it was buggy and full of
comments complaining about obscure, contradicting or even absent Apple
documentation.
My suggestion is to do the same in LuaTeX, I doubt any one is going to
bother with writing an AAT shaper and that is a good shunk of code (and
potential bugs) to get rid of.
Good point. There is a lot of AAT-related code, and if noone uses it
anyway ...
Best wishes,
Taco
