Embedded font crashes printer

[dbushong]

Embedding any of the OpenSans family of fonts (available from http://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Open+Sans ) in a PDF works fine in Mac Preview and Ghostscript, but fails for some users of Firefox PDF preview, and more importantly causes a large number of printers to crash unrecoverably (require power-cycle). Example printer: Xerox Phaser 3635MFP

Here's repro code against pdfkit 0.5.2:

var PDFDoc = require('pdfkit')
  , doc    = new PDFDoc()
  , fs     = require('fs');

doc.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('pdfkit.pdf'));
doc.font('OpenSans-Regular.ttf')
   .text('Blah blah blah')
   .end();

For reference, the exact same font file and equivalent output PDF works fine using prawn, a ruby PDF generator.

I and others had similar problems, there is a workaround for this problem which worked for me, see #69 (comment)

The font engine has changed significantly in v0.8.0. Please try again with that version and report back how it goes.
