This font crashes fontforge, and fixing it is beyond my knowledge. It seems the problem is that fontforge doesn't understand the Apple- specific encoding used by the font, and I have no idea how to make it do so. You'll have to ask George Williams if you really want to be able to open the font. Best wishes, Taco

I can open it with Fontforge (using the latest CVS snapshot). Regards, -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team

Yes, you can with latest luatex also, I sent a patch to fontforge-devel to suppress the crash. That does not make the font usable though, because it is now treated a symbolic font (no unicode mapping info). Best wishes, Taco
