In pdf found at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127512 there is a pdf that
in page 2 requests this sizes for fonts
140000000000
100000000000
120000000000
That causes the computer too DIE because freetype tries to allocate a HUGE
buffer for rendering the font.
The solution is limiting the font size we want to let the user draw. Some
people suggested me limiting to the size of the allowed font to something in
the range [size in points, page size in points * 10]
What do you say?
