I'll submit patches once I get around to do it.

I'm sorry, but the check is not redundant. nfont is signed integer, and above 
protects against an integer overflow. 

A whole better check would be to sanitize it to be < bytes_left_in_the_cache, 
since one can assume that each font eats at least one byte, but I found that 
much harder to check for..
