Re: Adobe crapware again?

"Microsoft Windows does not release any OpenType fonts natively. However, third-party applications could install them and they could be affected by this change"

Sure the library is broken, sure it might well be Adobe's shit code, but the decision to run a Font library in kernel mode was all Microsoft. This particular class of problem has been a pointed out to MS and the user community on numerous occasions - going back to at least NT 4.0.

I am hoping the fix stops running that library in kernel mode in addition to fixing the code, but the fact that MS & their fans have expended more energy on burying the bad news than fixing the problem so far doesn't give me much hope.
