The version of TrueType in XFree86 is catching an error inside the Unicode 
cmap tables when attempting to load them.  This is handled inside FreeType
with setjmp/longjmp, which I believe to be the source of the segfaults.

And, it results in a BadValue error with a bogus error Value in loading the
fonts otherwise.

Using FreeType 2.1.3 corrects the cmap loading problem, but I'm afraid 
we'll still have segfaults from the setjmp/longjmp issue.
