How shall this work?  We have no influence on Microsoft...  It would
be great if we could snip with the fingers, and the font guys there do
a new release of the FontValidator immediately :-)

I have discussed with MS making a private distribution of the C# FontVal source code to people who would like to work on a fresh derivative, which MS would retain ownership of, but release under a simple permissive libre license on Github.
