I installed the font myself. And it works on windows 10 and that works.

However I found one possible issue.

Please go to
SynTextDrawer.pp
line 1269
and replace the current
     Windows.ExtTextOutW(FDC, X, Y, fuOptions or ETO_GLYPH_INDEX, 
@ARect, Pointer(Glyphs), Length(Glyphs), EtoArray);
with the following new
     Windows.ExtTextOutW(FDC, X, Y, fuOptions or ETO_GLYPH_INDEX, 
@ARect, Pointer(Glyphs), CharPlaceInfo.nGlyphs, EtoArray);

The other ...TextOut in the lines below that should be kept as they are.
