FWIW, speaking of corrupted font metadata, and Font Creator, I have used FC to "fix" bogus font meta/type info. For example, Cufon fonts puts out lot of worthless types, like their Helvetica Neue face, in which, if you install it, you'll find that your computer can't tell what the hell is what. Which face is which--more than two of their fonts share the same font type designation. (I was experimenting with the cursed things--that will teach me--and I ended up with all sorts of SAS showing up in italic. Lovely experience--not! But it did "learn me" to use FC to fix font types!).

So, sports fans, if you find yourself in my boat--adrift, with weird-ass fonts wreaking havoc--FC is a terrific tool for tweaking that stuff. Not affiliated, other than as a user.
