I don't have time to analyze this in detail, but, as Lawrence
observed, you *must not* rely on internal implementation details of
FreeType.

In general, FreeType is not suited at all as a library to manipulate
PostScript files.

Regardless of that, the correct way is to extract the 'loca' table
with `FT_Load_Sfnt_Table` and parse the table by yourself.  This is
rather trivial to do, so it shouldn't be much work – and doing so
makes your code future-proof.
