Folks,

I have now typeset the test files in TeX Live 2014. All fonts that work today
also worked in 2014. The full list of bad files for 2015 is given below. Either the error
messages were the same in 2014 and 2015 or else the font worked in 2014
but doesn’t now.

These fonts that worked in 2014 but don’t now are particularly important,
of course. But notice that we also have recent error messages from 2014
about ITF Devanagari and Kohinoor Devanagari.

Fonts that worked in 2014 but not don’t:

	HeadLineA
	Osaka
	PCMyungio
	PilGi
	Skia
	Apple Chancery
