I suspect that the font has been rebuilt with a restricted range of 
characters or styles.
AFAICT with the few that I have updated so far, this does not affect 
operation, as the required glyphs are available in the full packaged 
version of the font.
In one case the embedded ttf was around 75k where the full ttf was 
several hundred k, but the game did not complain.
