there seems to be a cid entry operator seen when populating a private 
dictionary in the cff section

you can add this in line 552 of font-cff:

                     cid               = {
                         -- actually an error
                     },

and the font will probably load then, unless there is a fundamental flaw 
(i don't know where to get that font)
