Description

When attempting to generate a document whilst subsetting the VilleroyBoch-Regular.otf font, different viewers will either show errors, no text or lead to incorrect or corrupt characters being drawn.

I currentlty believe this is down to either a subroutine not being copied from the original font leading to a invalid reference, or the subroutine does not contain valid data. When looking at this font in FontForge, 3 characters in a "hello world" example I used were missing which backs up this hypothesis.

[EDIT] I've removed the font as I did not check if there were copyright issues by making it public domain. I will work when I am able to do so but keep the font privately unless I hear otherwise from the user who originally posted the problem
