To close the loop here: in this case, the issue was not with any
individual font. Instead, it was caused by the presence of more than 255
unique fonts on Paul's system -- a single code path failed to properly
account for this with the result being corrupted memory and undefined
behaviour. This is fixed in build #5346.
