This font has always been in my black list together with some
others:

c:/windows/fonts/diablindall.ttf
c:/windows/fonts/spltfgbd.ttf
c:/windows/fonts/spltfgbi.ttf
c:/windows/fonts/spltfgit.ttf
c:/windows/fonts/spltfgrg.ttf

They are chess fonts from chessbase - old, non-unicode and
unstandard. While the first is completly useless for luatex the
other (which contain figurines) could perhaps in the future be used
- when there is some reliable and documentated interface to reencode
such fonts (or to create new virtual fonts).
