	On XP Professional SP1 it causes a bugcheck in ATMFD.DLL.  According
 to the properties for this DLL this is the Adobe Type Manager driver.

	The bugcheck code is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA @ Base+0x28A75. 

	You can delete the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Font Drivers
	
	This will eliminate the immediate problem, but will remove type 1 
 font support.
