I've ended up throwing this patch into into the current gdttf.c for
3.0.12.

I put the patch here:

ftp://myfonts.seet.com/pub/gdttf.c.patch
 
Wasn't sure I could as it was my first time making a patch but what I
actually did was pretty basic. I'm not sure where the code I cut and
pasted came from originall except that it was from someone on the list.
But I know it made the change I needed to get this url rendering:

http://myfonts.seet.com/testdriverender.php3?id=1117&s=abcrdefghi&p=35

before it was just a broken image although the renderer worked fine on
other fonts.

Just thought I'd offer it in case it makes someone else's job a bit
easier.
