Re: [ft-devel] [freetype2] GSoC-2019-moazin 8887048: Performs basic to see if SVG data is valid or not.

Well one thing that just came to my mind is that though

these checks aren't problematic, I am not sure how

useful they are from a practical point of view. If somebody

had to get invalid tables passed in, there can be many ways

to do that and its impossible and also pointless to check

for all of them on FT side. So yea, maybe I should reconsider

these.

Werner, what do you think?

Don't check things your code doesn't rely on.  That just bloats code and makes assumptions that just end up being wrong and make others' life harder in the future.

Well, my code does rely on the OT-SVG specs and the

conditions I check for come directly from the specs too.

If you see a check that isn't backed up by the specs,

please let me know.
