Come to think of it, I believe I've heard of multiple "making the device render this text causes a crash" bugs for Apple devices, but never on any other platforms. Is this type of bug just that much more common on Apple devices, or are there plenty of other cases out there that I just don't know about?

There have been numerous crash-bugs for the Windows font renderer, and even security exploits using it (especially before windows 10, as earlier than that font rendering was performed in the kernel's space rather than user-land). I wouldn't be surprised to learn of issues (at least of the falling over variety) in common Linux rendering engines and for other OSs too.

The Windows bugs are usually tied into executing TTF hint bytecode which is ignored by Freetype.
