Please see http://newtypography.co.uk/ttfautohint/
These are 4 forms that are guaranteed to get shredded :)

I have created a font with just these 4 glyphs.
'A' , 'C', 'E', 'G' have no TT instructions
'B', 'D', 'F', 'H', are ttfautohinted.

You can get the test font from
http://newtypography.co.uk/ttfautohint/ttfautohintA.ttf

just ask if anything else is needed. Happy to test anything.
