FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.7.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-ea-b59)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.0-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Installed Adobe CS4.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Upon launching an app (that probably tries to load a bunch of fonts), JVM crashes. This can be corrected by removing Koz*.otf from "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts". These font files are much larger than the rest, so that may be part of the problem. No issues with JDK 1.6.0_14 though. Ignoring error allows app to proceed.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Install Adobe CS4
2. Verify that 'KozGoPro-Regular.otf' and its siblings are present.
2. Launch application [that tries to load all fonts?]

ACTUAL -
Error message pops up. Pressing 'Ignore' allows app to procede normally.
