[Devel] infinite loop/autohinter crash

[Scott Long]

Here's part of a debug session I ran on ftview, like you did. I think there 
is something fishy about the outline. outline->num_points is 1, but 
outline->num_contours is 249. I don't know a lot about what FreeType is doing 
under the hood but this still seems wrong.

I tried running ftlint on the file, but it just segfaults the same way. Is 
there a utility I can use to simply dump the contents of the ttf file in some 
readable format?

Thanks,
Scott
