I checked John Daggets’s web fonts page (http://people.mozilla.org/~jdaggett/webfonts/fonts/), there are at least two of them having this issue: Chunkfive.otf and MEgalopolisExtra.otf. I do not see such fonts shipped with Windows, but digging more into this I found at least two font tools I am using, that are inserting this unnecessary padding. For what it is worth, a couple of years ago a popular font manager flagged fonts that had a final table that was *not* padded to a four-byte boundary as corrupt. As a result, I am 100% certain that fonts with this padding are out there. Tal
