I truly don't understand what you are talking about.

Is this about fonts with a glyf table that has glyphs with numContours set
to zero, instead of the glyph data being 0-lengthed?  If yes, then that is
NOT illegal.  Quoting the spec:

SHORT numberOfContoursIf the number of contours is greater than *or equal
to zero*, this is a single glyph; if negative, this is a composite glyph.

How is a empty glyph represented?  Too lazy to check.
