#3049 Invalid kern table error for 'font metrics'

[Todd Andrews]

Mac OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.2

If you have the Microsoft Word 2011 font called "Bauhaus 93" and you execute this script:

foreach family [lsort -dictionary [font families]] {
font create TempFont -family ${family}
if {[font metrics TempFont -fixed]} {
puts $family
}
font delete TempFont
}

You will get this error:

Seems to be a font problem rather than a Tk problem. Other apps report issues with this font, cf. http://www.marinersoftware.deskpro.com/kb/articles/255-i-see-a-bunch-of-entries-in-my-console-related-to-mariner-write-why.
