I updated the gist
(https://gist.github.com/jjgod/c1194a9b371848aaa746) again to fix the
following issues:

1. Non-CJK/CID font support.
2. dvipdfmx support.
3. Uploaded a third patch as an attempt to fix the Pan-CJK version of
Source Han Sans, I'm not entirely sure if this is the solution, but it
seems to help me get PDF generated correctly with that font. It's done
by avoiding to read the 65536 entry in CFF char strings, doing that
will trigger the "sent: Freetype failure" error you have seen.

Please give it a try and let me know if there are still issues.
