Your claim of backdoors is nonsense of course, but the kernel mode font handling was indeed a security risk. However on recent releases of Windows, they changed font parsing to run in a user mode sandbox: see the "Mitigating font exploits with AppContainer" section of https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/01/13/hardening-windows-10-with-zero-day-exploit-mitigations/ https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/01/13/...
- partycoder 8y agoRest assured that your Windows box is now invulnerable to any form of hacking thanks to the mighty Windows Defender [insert laugh track] By the way, font processing remains in the kernel.
