I've tested your file, and FreeType rejects it because it cannot read
the private dictionary. It seems that that file contains an offset
(3839) that is outside the font file's length (3317 bytes).

I don't know if the problem comes from FreeType mal-reading the offset
from the file, or a broken input. Can you guarantee that your file
is OK ??
