It took me a while to see that you actually don't use the tex live font 
but a broken one from ctan ... fontforge also crashes on it and typetool 
immediately runs out of memory ... i'm not sure if i want to check in 
which loop it sticks (already wasted an hour on checking the other fonts 
you mention).
