“…the font it settled on - specifically BPreplay - ended up looking terrible for most users.”

The background here is that there are new ways of using fonts with web sites, and Boing Boing tried the simplest approach of just hosting a free font on their own web server and pointing at it, but the on-screen results were not as good as expected. But nonetheless, I am fairly sure that Boing Boing could have fixed their problems easily, if they knew how. Heck, I even briefly forgot a basic point in a first pass at this article. This web font stuff is actually really complicated, and information has been hard to come by. People keep on sending me links to this article “ Boing Boing’s Redesign Uncovers Dark Side of Web Fonts,” about problems Boing Boing had with their new web font implementation. Only thing is, the article has a substantial dose of nonsense mixed in with the perfectly good analysis.

The MS Knowledgebase article has a standard section for “known issues.” On Friday Dec 14, 2012, Microsoft updated it to read: “We are aware of issues related to OpenType Font ( OTF) rendering in applications such as PowerPoint on affected versions of Windows that occur after this security update is applied.

Xara Designer Pro X (vector drawing) and possibly other Xara apps.
The Secret World (Alternate Reality Game).Bentley MicroStation ( CAD / information modeling).Adobe Flash (authoring at least, probably not the running of Flash apps?).Workaround: view in “draft” mode works because it does not use the problematic API. QuarkXPress 7, 8, 9.5 (but only affects fonts at 15 pts and larger).PowerPoint, but only in presentation mode (an especially dangerous failure, as a user might think things were fine… until they tried to do an actual presentation).Windows: All desktop and server versions of Windows from XP to Windows 8, it seems.What we know is that affected OSes and apps included: I also suspect that in most cases where a current version of an application is affected, so are older versions not listed. I strongly suspect that in many more applications than those listed, “convert to curves” functions will fail or result in lost text. I gather there are other APIs apps can use, but that GetGlyphOutline() works all the way back to XP, unlike the alternatives. This effectively renders some apps unable to render the glyph on screen. With the bad version of the patch, that API no longer returned the memory size needed to get the curves, but instead returned a bogus value of zero. The apps that were especially affected are those that use the GetGlyphOutline() API to grab font outlines of PostScript fonts (both Type 1 pfb/pfm fonts, and OpenType CFF. If your computer is part of a domain administered centrally by an IT team, you should alert them that the issue is fixed, so they can decide whether to roll it out now that the patch is safer. Installing the revised version (2.0) of the patch from Microsoft will fix the problem caused by the original release. This can even affect font menus when the app has a WYSIWYG font menu. (2) with the original version of the update, for certain apps text set in all PostScript Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm) and OpenType CFF (.oft) fonts became invisible. (1) installing the update breaks some very tiny number of fonts at the system level and for all apps, including potentially malicious fonts. I was able to seed Extensis tech support manager Romeo Fahl with the fixed patch, so we participated in helping verify it worked. Kudos to Microsoft for fixing it quickly and including interested outside parties in testing it. The current version of the patch does NOT have the problem, and can be installed over the original release to fix the problem caused by the original. Luckily MS got it fixed and re-released it nine days later. Was it Fontmageddon? For users who use fonts in some applications (see below), Windows security update KB2753842 of Dec 11, 2012, caused more harm than good. ( UPDATED repeatedly, first with more details and then because of the Dec 20 fix.) add yours » OpenType / PostScript font support killed in many apps ( FIXED Dec 20, 2012)
