    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.
