There's a discussion on the FreeType developement list, starting here:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2005-06/msg00085.html

with some replies in June, July, and August.

I have no opinion to that.  Maybe I was to eager to support this
broken font...  I don't mind to revert my patch in case this is a more
`sane' behaviour.
