It's possible this is a fontforge issue.  Recent developments in Wine
have exposed a bug in old versions of fontforge, and I believe the
(older) SuSE releases such as 9.3 might have that fontforge.

This might not help, but upgrading the whole system to the latest SuSE
might solve things (since those RPMS would be built with a newer
fontforge).
