    [From Sairus Patel at Adobe] The Adobe Devanagari font (CFF OpenType, 2014 units per em), which is validly made, seems to be triggering this bug. Our customer is “syncing” the font via Creative Cloud, and using “TexShop, with the setting at XeLaTeX”. The resulting PDF when viewed in the latest Adobe Reader/Acrobat displays overlapping glyphs. Please do consider investigating/fixing this – our customer has to get a refund & use other Devanagari fonts instead of ours, because of this issue.

    It seems that "Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Release (Classic) | Version 2015.006.30417" does not show this probem. Is it an Acrobat bug?

    The certificate of that site has expired and if you proceed, you get "node not found". Taking a look at https://web.archive.org/web/20150414025848/https://typophile.com/node/46451 , we determine that we have to compile

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{fontspec}
    \font\flower="IM FELL FLOWERS 2" at 17.5pt
    \font\capital="IM FELL French Canon PRO Roman" at 39pt
    \setromanfont{IM FELL Great Primer PRO}
    \setlength{\textwidth}{4.5in}
    \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
    \begin{document}
    \fontsize{17.5}{20}\selectfont
    {\flower 1} \textsc{the application}: This is levelled at that numerous part of mankind, who, out of their ample fortunes take care to accomplish themselves with everything but common sense.
    
    \bigskip
    \begin{center}
    73. \textit{The Old Hound.}
    \end{center}
    
    {\capital A\kern0.05em}n old Hound, who had been an excellent good one in his time, and given his master great sport and satisfaction
    \end{document}
    

    Running xelatex -no-pdf mwe.tex or xelatex mwe.tex leads to

    kpathsea:make_tex: Invalid filename `IM FELL FLOWERS 2', contains ' '
    

    I'm unsure how to proceed from here. The first font seems to lie on https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/im-fell-flowers-2 , but the file name is different.
