Minion Pro crashes font editor

In developing a font selection component for Parrot which used the FontDialog I noticed that certain fonts, such as Minion Pro would crash rhino when selected.

When I tested this with the Grasshopper Font Setting popup on a panel component it also crashes Rhino. This seems to be true, at least on the 4 machines I've tested for any Grasshopper menu that applies the font in the selection editor, including preferences.

I'm not sure if its related to:

It seems that both Adobe products and Microsoft Office products simply replace it with Times New Roman.

Has anyone else had this experience?

(WARNING: Testing may crash Rhino)

I can reproduce this - even just scrolling to the part of the font dialog where minion pro is results in a hard Rhino + GH crash. WOMP WOMP

It happens consistently on Windows 7 desktops running Adobe CC 2015, however a laptop running Windows 10 and a more current Adobe CC does not have the issue.
