You've got it narrowed down correctly: the fractional width info is bad.
The reason it's bad is because Font/DA Mover releases prior to 3.6 didn't
move it correctly. As the insert page to the FullWrite doc indicates, the
fix is to copy the affected fonts out to another file, remove them from the
system, and then reinstall them with FDA 3.6.  There is no dependency on
hardware type (SE vs. II).
