    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.
