Your Cmap file called "prévention sic 7.cmap" contains nothing but null bytes ... 17,988 null bytes. What I am viewing at the URL ttp://yuri.ng-gaming.net/gul/ is a "copy" of the file that you have in your My Cmaps, correct? I am guessing that you uploaded prévention sic 7.cmap from your My Cmaps folder to your website in order to make it available at the directory referenced by your URL http://yuri.ng-gaming.net/gul/

Can you please verify that the size on disk of the real prévention sic 7.cmap in your My Cmaps folder? Also, if you know how to open a file in a "binary editor" or if you are familiar with the "od" command in Linux or OSX, it would be great if you could actually display the contents of the original prévention sic 7.cmap and verify that it contains all null bytes.

In the past, I have seen (not very many) Cmaps that are "broken" because only the first portion of the Cmap was successfully written to disk (and maybe then the machine would crash or something like that). But I have never seen a Cmap on disk that contained nothing but thousands of null bytes. For that reason, I am asking you to investigate that "prévention sic 7.cmap" in your My Cmaps does indeed contain only null bytes.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
