Hi there,
I stumbled upon The League's site and is fascinated with your font work. However, despite of The OFL Sorts Mill Goudy was being displayed nicely in Windows Font Viewer, it can crash applications trying to read its metric information or something. I tried with Wodpad in Windows 7 and caught something interesting in debugger:

// First try
First-chance exception at 0x6f038a92 in wordpad.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0325ff92.

// Removing OpenType and try with TrueType
First-chance exception at 0x6f038a92 in wordpad.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x02a1ff92.

// Invert TrueType with OpenType, still
First-chance exception at 0x6f038a92 in wordpad.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0357ff92.

// Remove italic style, regular still crashes.
First-chance exception at 0x6f038a92 in wordpad.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x07d6ff92.

It occurred in both OTF and TTF version. Windows is also generating wrong thumbnails with them (showing their icon as symbol font). I knew that I'd possibly redirect the problems to Microsoft but I'd still like to inform you. Anyway, nice work!
