Jonas Jenwald	0fb31a4a9e	Fallback in `readCmapTable`, instead of using `error`, for TrueType fonts with unsupported cmap formats (bug 1200096) Fixes https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200096. The problematic font has a `format 2` cmap, which we've never supported properly. Prior to PR 2606, we were able to fallback to a working state, despite not having proper support for that cmap format. Obviously the best/correct solution would be to implement actual support for more cmap formats[1]. However, I'm hoping that a simple patch will be OK for now, given that: - `format 2` cmaps seem to be quite rare in practice, since this has been broken for 2.5 years before anyone noticed. - Having a simple patch will make potential uplifts a lot easier.
