    Windows98 - No reboot.

    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.
