The font is broken (it contains self-overlapping contours), however,
this isn't an issue here. Regardless of that, the error message is
correct: For example, glyph 'A' in this font has more than 10000 (on
and off) points! Stroking indeed overflows FreeType's built-in size
guards.
On the other hand, this font is *completely* unsuitable for stroking;
it thus doesn't bother me in any way that FreeType can't do that :-)
