Anyone else seeing a problem with "7" (the moon character) being corrupted? In Firefox 21 (Win 7 Pro) it causes a band of black all the way across the browser. In Opera 12 and IE it doesn't bork the display, but the glyph doesn't appear either. When I view the font with BabelMap, the position for "7" seems to be blank. Anyone have a source for a working version? Seems that I used to have one.

There are at least three different Cairo TT fonts out there. One does have the moon character problem--I noticed the same thing on one of my Macs. It seems that particular glyph is corrupted in the font.

There's a second variant which doesn't have the problem but is less true to the original, as the TV has a black screen (the original font has a white screen). I have this one on another Mac at the moment.

Somewhere I have a third version which has a good TV and a good moon but has eyeballs in the glasses. I'm almost positive it's on the Macintosh Revelations CD (a BMUG compilation).
