I did as much investigation as my time allowed. This error happens
with my TrueTypeViewer as well. As far as I can see, my interpreter
skips over some vital Delta instructions in "N" because store[2] != 6.
store[2] happens to be 1. (I've got no idea what the value in store[2]
stands for.)
Hope this helps,
