-8007 is: "Exception not handled". So, somehow, an application or the
system itself encountered an abnormal condition, set up an exception,
but no other application/system software did handle the exception.
That's not very useful, I know. There might be something wrong with
those font packages. Do you know who created them? Maybe you should
contact the creator, if you know who it is. Those fonts maybe try to
replace the default system fonts, and there is maybe a conflict on how
it's done. It may also be possible that those fonts were to be used on
some localized Newton, and they won't work on any other Newton. That is
something that maybe the creator would be able to tell you.
Sorry if I can't be more helpful...
