This is unfortunate, but perhaps not beyond fixing.  It is a lot of  
money to spend if one's sole purpose is to fix that bug (and should  
really be fixed in Metamorphosis Pro), but perhaps purchasing Altsys'  
Fontographer, loading in the TrueType font in question and saving to  
NeXT format would help?

This also has the added bonus of being able to use an excellent program  
(the likes of which don't even *exist* for the NeXT, anyone feel like  
making a font editor?) to tune up the font as a whole.
