Look for this line in fontTool/ttLib/__init__.py:

    except "_ _ F O O _ _": # dummy exception to disable exception catching

and replace it with

    except:

I disabled it because in many cases it makes debugging (both fonts and the TTX
code itself) a _lot_ harder (initial errors are masked, which may lead to other
errors later, which by then don't make a whole lot of sense...)

I guess this should be a command line switch.
