That's very strange.  Perhaps your David CLM font is
different from mine.

In freetype.h, FT_FACE_FLAG_SFNT is explained as this:

  /*    FT_FACE_FLAG_SFNT ::                                               */
  /*      Indicates that the face uses the `sfnt' storage scheme.  For     */
  /*      now, this means TrueType and OpenType.                           */

So, if the font doesn't have this flag set, it means that
the font is surely not OTF.

This is some info about my David CLM font.
