* Source Han Sans and Noto Sans CJK are basically the same font. Info: 
http://blog.typekit.com/2014/07/15/introducing-source-han-sans/

Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Using Windows' font viewer (fontview.exe), BabelMap (BabelMap.exe)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Enable gdipp service.
1. Install Region-specific Subsets fonts for Source Han Sans / Noto Sans CJK
2. Preview those fonts in font viewer


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected result:
The preview window pops up instantly and characters are shown.

Actual result:
The preview window pops up very slowly. Sometimes Windows says it is not 
responding. In the end no characters are shown.

(It is showing Source Han Sans but it applies to Noto Sans too)

Disabling gdipp services eliminates the issue.


What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
gdipp_x64_0.9.1.msi. Win8.1 pro 64bit with all updates installed.

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.
Affected Fonts:
SourceHanSansCN-1.000.zip
SourceHanSansJP-1.000.zip
SourceHanSansKR-1.000.zip
SourceHanSansTWHK-1.000.zip
(from http://sourceforge.net/projects/source-han-sans.adobe/files/)
and Noto Sans variants:
NotoSansSChinese.zip
NotoSansJapanese.zip
NotoSansKorean.zip
NotoSansTChinese.zip
(from http://www.google.com/get/noto or 
https://code.google.com/p/noto/source/browse/third_party/noto_cjk)

Fonts NOT affected: SourceHanSansOTF-1.000.zip, NotoSansCJK-Regular.otf (and 
possibly other weights)

The affected fonts actually works in common usage, e.g. LibreOffice, Adobe 
Photoshop. However, I cannot use it in BabelMap 
(http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html) as it works similarly as a 
font preview program.
