Hi,

We encountered a few (potentially not fully compliant with the specification) CFF fonts (i.e. CIDFontType0) that have enough information to be rendered, but FreeType throws an exception due to not having both the `head` and the `cmap` tables.

"CFF" fonts don't have such tables. OpenType fonts with CFF outlines do.

A CFF interpreter shouldn't be reliant on information from them.
