The problem seems to be only with W2000 and WXP. W2000 with SP3 bluescreened with STOP 0x00000050, where WXP with SP1 
just rebooted without even a bluescreen. W98 or WNT don't seem to be affected.

Nope, I tried this: read

erence/properties/fontface.asp

Embeded fonts are of a different filetype (eot or ote)
Maybe the same bug can be embedded in this filetype, but you'd first have to
figure out what's triggering this and reproduce it in a eot or ote file.

I suppose that IE's 'automatic font download' support (which is on by
default) would exacerbate this problem, correct?
