ttf2eot hanging on a subsetted TTF file

See original GitHub issue

config : Windows 7

font : Roboto TTF font, subsetted with pyftsubset (from fonttools)

I got this bug with node packages using ttf2eot as dependency. node version 6.10.0 (I’m currently trying updating node, I’ll keep you informed)

WORKSPACE\node_modules\microbuffer\index.js:170
    buffer.set(data, offset);
           ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Got it ! (with your help) : console.log showed that the familyName was empty.

I called pyftsubset with the --name-IDs='*' parameter (according to the fonttool documentation) : still no luck.

Some hairs pulled later (and lot of tests using the ttx tool of fonttools), I tried with --name-IDs=*, and it worked.

Thanks for your hints !
