I have not looked at your font or even run a test, but the error code seems
to indicate that the font is broken and contains an invalid table file
offset. I suppose that's why FreeType 2 refuses to read it.

This would also explain the behaviour when "adding" random bytes to the
file to make it load :-)

How did you get this font ?
