I believe, but I've not verified, the fix used for the povr fork will
work with the current v3.8 beta 2 code. See below - with a little 
reformatting to prevent awkward lines splits.

In truetype.cpp change the following v3.8 beta 2 code:

//---
#ifdef TTF_DEBUG
             Debug_Info("sub_glyph %d: ", sub_glyph_index);
#endif

             if (flags & ARG_1_AND_2_ARE_WORDS)
             {
#ifdef TTF_DEBUG
                 Debug_Info("ARG_1_AND_2_ARE_WORDS ");
#endif
                 arg1 = READSHORT(ffile->fp);
                 arg2 = READSHORT(ffile->fp);
             }
             else
             {
                 arg1 = READUSHORT(ffile->fp);
                 arg2 = arg1 & 0xFF;
                 arg1 = (arg1 >> 8) & 0xFF;
             }
//---

to this:

//---
#ifdef TTF_DEBUG
             Debug_Info("sub_glyph %d:\n", sub_glyph_index);
#endif

             if (flags & ARG_1_AND_2_ARE_WORDS)
             {
#ifdef TTF_DEBUG
                 Debug_Info("ARG_1_AND_2_ARE_WORDS\n");
#endif
                 if (flags & ARGS_ARE_XY_VALUES)
                 {  // Values are int16_t
                     arg1 = READSHORT(*ffile->file);
                     arg2 = READSHORT(*ffile->file);
                 }
                 else

                     arg1 = READUSHORT(*ffile->file);
                 }
             }
             else

#endif
                 if (flags & ARGS_ARE_XY_VALUES)
                 {  // Values are int8_t * 2

                     union uC {
                         int8_t buffer[2];
                         uint16_t value;
                     } u;

                     if (BigEndian)
                     {
