Question about instructionLength of simple glyphs

Hi all,

The “Decoding of Simple Glyphs” suggests that instructionLength is
always set for any glyph, but the reference implementation seems to
write/read it only if numberOfContours is > 0. If this is the intent,
then I think the spec should be updated to make it clear, otherwise the
reference implementation will need to be fixed (which will make existing
fonts invalid of course).

Regards,
Khaled
