Could you provide a pointer to the post in bugreports?  There are no posts
there from the name you're using now, and of the posts that are there that
seem to discuss truetype fonts, neither was claimed to be fixed in 3.5.  If
you'd like to provide a copy of the font and the scene file for testing, 
provided there aren't any copyright problems, that might be useful as well 
(though I'd wait until the policy on binary posts in this group has been
clarified before posting anything here.)
