I've downloaded the original, unmodified file `AssLtts13.pfr', and it is indeed an abnormal font: The `.notdef' glyph (showing a lion in Assyrian style) has 4229 points!

Due to the fact that the fuzzer changes the internal scaling factor from 0.03 to 8 in your sample file, increasing the glyph sizes by a factor of 256, you get 576 horizontal segments instead of 30 in the original font, for example.

In other words, slow processing is expected for this malformed font, and I don't think we have a bug here.  Maybe you shouldn't use those Assyrian fonts for fuzzing...

Found with libFuzzer, reproduction attached.

With the attached malformed pfr font, runinput takes about a half second. Profiling with perf indicates that this spends a great deal of time in af_latin_hints_link_segments and af_* generally. This may simply be expected behavior for a malformed font, but it seems like this is taking long enough that it should be understood why. This behavior has also dragged pfr fuzzing back down to an average of ~5 executions a second.
