Windows98 - No reboot. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 10:37 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] 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. - Andrew Connell
