--- Comment #4 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
This is not a font under an opensource licence.

I tried downloading it from here:
http://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Gill-Sans-Shadowed-MT-Pro-Light/download

and the download failed (due to some unspecified leagal reason, or trademark
issue).

A similar one sells for 42 Euros plus VAT on this site:
https://www.linotype.com/fr/186393/gill-sans-light-shadowed-product.html

where a mention is made at the bottom of the page that Gill Sans is a
trademarked expression.

In other words, it is likely that only licensed distributors (such as Linotype)
are legally authorized to offer the font for download.

This will make it difficult, or impossible to confirm your bug report, unless
someone has a legally acquired copy of the font. 

Please do not post the font to the bug report.
