My best guess is that the font file is corrupt, and your use of the new
version of F&SV is coincidental to finding the problem.  The "not enough RAM"
message is typical of a corrupt resource map that contains a bogus huge size
for a resource.  So, I suggest starting with the original file -- and let's
hope that you *can't* recreate the problem.

It's also possible (albeit unlikely) that the file was victim of the packing
bug in the original version of F&SV; in that case, the same remedy applies.
