Font name containing a ampersand will corrupt file
MuseScore 2.0.3 and current master 4e4486ba33
A font face such as http://www.dafont.com/cafe-brewery.font contains a ampersand in the name. Creating a score with a title in this font will create a corrupted file.

Here is another case https://musescore.org/en/node/178681
There's a sample score, and the font name was "Champagne & Limousines"
Replacing that with an & doesn't help much, the score loads, but lists Free Serif as the font, some kind af fallback?

You have the font installed? If not, freeserif is indeed the default.
No I don't, so yes, fallback to default, thanks for clarifying

The fix will not fix existing files but at least will not create broken ones anymore.
