Subject: Opentype font file causes Windows to restart.


Problem
-------

The attached OpenType font file will cause Windows to restart
immediately when the file is opened by the default viewer (fontview). I
doubt anyone would suspect a "harmless" little font file of being able
to cause such a thing to happen!

Software affected
-----------------
It has been tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP with exactly the
same result -- an immediate restart.  Other versions of Windows are
untested.

Fix
---
No fix known.
