It's a Type 1 font, right?

It's a known bug in the Type 1 backend.  In 4.3, this backend is no longer used
for Type 1 fonts, so the bug no longer appears.

The buggy Type 1 backend is however still used for CIDFonts, which is why I'm
marking this bug as WONTFIX.  Feel free to override that.

Juliusz:  Just off the top of your head...  how much effort do you think
it would take for someone to backport whatever is needed for this to 4.2.1
and possibly 4.1.0?  And if it would be considered a lot of work and/or
not worthy of the time spent, do you have any suggestions for a quick and
ugly hack to avoid it?  Some people have suggested imposing limitations on
the maximum size of fonts, but I've purposefully avoided making such a change
as I didn't want to stray from what XFree86 code was doing.

Just curious if there is something we might be able to do for users of older
servers without expending a lot of energy.

TIA
