R – Weird sifr character issue

flashsifr

I've got the latest version of sifr working fine except that for one letter, it is looking very odd.

the font is 'Tiresias LPfont' and for a uppercase 'O' it is creating a weird line through it at the top:

I've tried it every other letter uppercase, characters before and after it. In flash, when I create the swf file it looks fine in flash.

When I copy and paste it from the browser to Word, notepad, etc, it pastes as a normal 'O'.

Tried loads of other fonts and they all work fine.

So any idea what the heck is going on?

Where'd you get the font?

This guy? Legit or cracked? Have you tried typing the same text into another Flash movie with a dynamic text field and exporting that? Take sifr out of the equation and see if it's a broken font first.
