(I assume "reported" unless the report was made in a caustic manner. :)

Here's a post to Microsoft Community from July 2010, where the poster
didn't make the association with the particular font, and the respondent
suggested ensuring that other fonts were installed, which of course
doesn't really solve the problem:

It was reported to Community again in August 2012, but might not have
made it to the right people:
