Bug#202386: Zero length truetype fonts cause setup to crash

["Kevin B. Hendricks" <kevin.hendricks@sympatico.ca>]

Hi Chris,

This same bug exists upstream as well.  I just helped someone on Mandrake that 
had the installation fail with exactly the same backtrace.

He did a binary search of truetype fonts and found that:

> Will add that to the bug report I'm going to send in.

And as it turned out this font file had 0 size on his machine.  I am not sure 
why (a font installation failure?)

Please file an issue upstream for gsl (or better yet: commit a patch that 
skips any font file of size 0  to setup?, or psprint?, or vcl? - (I am not 
sure).  ;-)

Thanks,

Kevin
