Gee... Of course it was the two most similar letters in the world, almost at least, messing things up. I did check the file names as well but missed this, have to be more careful next time. So difficult to find those small little buggers.
Well done, life is good again :) Thank you!

Heh. Man, this took me a long time to figure out--I was looking in all the wrong places. The short answer is that you need to use a different font. The longer answer--check out the filename of your validation file.
