Opentype font file causes Windows to restart.
From: Andrew <aconnell () xtra co nz>
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 04:36:49 +1300

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.
