While testing google's new Roboto font (version 1.0), I found out that
ttfautohint 0.6 crashes, unfortunately. Reason is the very weird
glyph `nonbreakingspace' (its bbox is xMin=32767, yMin=32767,
xMax=-32767, yMax=-32767, BTW) which is a composite glyph with a
single component, namely `space'. However, `space' has no contours at
all...
Well, constructing such an anomaly is valid, but I haven't considered
this case. Alas, it means a major redesign of some algorithms in
ttfautohint. I'll release 0.6.1 after fixing this issue.
