There is probably nothing wrong with having self-intersecting polygons
in multiple master glyphs. Actually, this is something you would expect
since there is no way to re-design a glyph for particular axises values..

You'll simply need to deal with them (use the non-zero winding rule to
fill them, otherwise, you'll need to write a polygon intersector)

Cheers,
