Handling TrueType fonts not allowing subsetting

Hi,

I've stumbled for the first time over a TrueType font, that doesn't 
allow subsetting, see traceback below. Strange enough a thing to 
do... Does anybody know a workaround? Maybe if only including the 
whole font without subsetting?

BTW, this is on Py 2.7.5, RL, 2.7, Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks,

Dinu
