I'm still seeing problems with Kohinoor Devanagari, even after the two
recent commits.

The problem I'm getting is that I'm looking for Kohinoor Devangari
Light, which is index 4 in the cabinet.

At cidtype0.c:746, offset is 924, so cidtype0 calls cff_open(stream,
924, 4).

However, after reading the index of the TTC with "idx =
cff_get_index(cff)", (cff.c:105) idx->count is 1. This can't be right,
as there are definitely 4 fonts in the cabinet. We try to access index
n=4, and that's higher than idx->count so dvipdfmx blows up.

What I guess is happening is that, having gone to the right offset, you
are now looking at a font (Kohinoor Devangari Light) within the cabinet.
>From the point of view of that font, there are no subfonts, so index 4
is meaningless, and perhaps instead you should be calling
cff_open(stream, offset, 1). (This is only a guess.)

There is something else which looks suspicious as well - in
CIDFont_type0_dofont we now have the code:

  if (sfont->type == SFNT_TYPE_TTC)
    offset = ttc_read_offset(sfont, CIDFont_get_opt_index(font));

  if ((sfont->type != SFNT_TYPE_TTC && sfont->type !=
SFNT_TYPE_POSTSCRIPT) ||
      sfnt_read_table_directory(sfont, offset) < 0)
    ERROR("Not a CFF/OpenType font (1)?");
  offset = sfnt_find_table_pos(sfont, "CFF ");

So offset is being read by ttc_read_offset for TTC fonts, and then it is
being unconditionally reassigned by snft_find_table_pos. That might be
right, but it's different to how the font is being loaded in
CIDFont_type0_open.
