How do I know if any font is corrupt? When I type two
letters in Adobe Acrobat, it crashes. I understand this is a
font issue. No font has 0 size.

Thanks.

You got the 0 size right. Kinda hard to define 255 characters
dimensions with 0 bytes. :-)

You could get a font viewer like
http://www.download.com/FontViewOK/3000-2316_4-10807693.html FontviewOK
and run it to preview all the fonts real quick. Might show up some
issues. I'd question where you got the bad fonts. I've probably only
seen 1 or 2 bad fonts in years. And probably from bogus downloads.
