The TrueType subsetting should not be failing for every TrueType font.
The same fonts subset correctly on other platforms. There may be a
problem with the load_truetype_table font backend function.

While this won't help with the CFF problem it does need to be fixed as
going through the fallback path will lose all the glyph hinting.
