arrg, you already added that dependency - sorry. FWIW, Trunk is affected too.

This is a invalid cmap problem, not a problem related to bug 496573. We put in extra checks for funky cmaps in 3.5.4 which is what's causing this font to be rejected. There appear to be overlapping unicode ranges around 0xad (hyphen). If you rebuild the font with a tool like fonttools/ttx that should fix the problem.

I didn't build the font, I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Please could you help?
Attached file testcase font rebuilt with ttx (deleted) —
Simply dumped the font and rebuilt it using ttx. Seems to load fine.
YOU ARE A DIAMOND! Thanks ever so much, that is greatly appreciated by myself and my entire forum community.
