See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721719 for discussion 
of bad tables in certain versions of Lohit Devanagari (GDEF) and Roboto 
(GSUB).

That's all I can think of offhand... I'm sure there are plenty more 
broken fonts out there, but we don't usually add font-specific 
workarounds unless the user experience is really bad.
