Monofur font showing as italic

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Selected the font Options, 'Monofur', 18pt, regular. In Norwegian, the style 
name is 'Vanlig'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The font displayed was all italic when I expected to see regular fonts.

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?

Windows XP, Norwegian

$ mintty --version
mintty 1.1-beta1

This hasn't happen with any font I've tried, so I'm wondering whether this 
isn't a problem with that specific font rather than mintty.

Is it working as expected in other programs? Can you provide a link to the font 
you installed? (I can of course google it, but that won't necessarily lead me 
to the same one.)

The font may be found at http://www.dafont.com/monofur.font

I have used the font as a terminal font for urxvt for a while without issues. 
Monofur also looks normal in wordpad.

I see now that the font zip file contains two ttf font files, one regular and 
one italic. This may be part of the issue.

I found that the font does show as non-italic if I install the regular version 
(monof55.ttf) from the zip file only. It wrongly shows as italic if I install 
the italic version (monof56.ttf) as well. Same thing happened elsewhere, e.g. 
in Firefox and in Programmer's Notepad (an editor I use); hence I'm blaming the 
font. Seems to be something wrong with how the two versions identify themselves.

Thanks for looking into this. I will notify the owner of the monofur font.
