[ft] Problem loading OT tables in new Microsoft Sans Serif

[Dave Williss]

I'm running into a problem loading the GSUB and GPOS tables on the 
version of Microsoft Sans Serif that ships with Vista. 

The font has 5 script groups: arab, cyrl, hebr, latn and thai.
It loads the first group just fine.  On the cyrl group though, it goes 
to load the default LangSys table and comes up with a feature count of 
0.  Then, because there are no specific languages listed, it gives up 
and won't load the rest of the GSUB or GPOS tables.

I have the Microsoft extension that gives you extended font information 
on the Properties pages of fonts and according to it, the cyrl script's 
default language system has the mark and mkmk features.

I'm stuck at Freetype 1.3 because we can't afford the time to switch 
from using the OpenType layout routines in Freetype 1.3 to using 
something like Pango or ICU.

Has anybody else reported problems with this font?  or is it an error in 
the older Freetype?
