Hey Anthony,

   This rule is currently pending a policy review, it will likely be excluded from balanced-ips going forward. The 
thought behind this rule is that .fon files are basically dll files that have font files in the resource section. This, 
like .scr and .cpl files, can lead to people running programs because they don't think it's an executable.

thanks
