So, I remember looking into this a while back, and I asked aiju
about it at the time -- here's the response:
aiju | Ori_B: there is a dumb corner case i didn't expect any font to hit
aiju | but some fonts hit it anyway
Ori_B | oh?
aiju | Ori_B: where ALL the points on a curve are off-curve
aiju | this might be the same bug
Ori_B | oh... hm.
aiju | it's probably not too hard to figure out but i have all this shit paged out right now
Ori_B | I can verify that at least.
aiju | i think you need to pick two points and calculate the average and use that as a starting point
Ori_B | that sounds reasonable.
aiju | i literally just didn't implement it because i figured no font would do this shit
Ori_B | yeah, it's some unicode junk that I appear to have accidentally gotten into the
file, so I didn't hit it on a common glyph.
Ori_B | should we also return a 'bogus glyph' instead of killing font rendering?
Ori_B | '?', pjw face, something?
