OK. The original document is at:
www.torrens.org.uk/Opera/Rossini/Cenerentola.dpd
Looking at the DDL, the only line containing the reference to FONT_7bff is
in the bit below.

{newpara}{remuserstyle STYLE_13}{adduserstyle STYLE_15}
"(stupéfait et prenant un air important)"
{align 0}{newpara}{remuserstyle STYLE_15}{bold 1}{italic 0}{reverse 0}
{super 0}{sub 0} FONT_7bff {textsize
36000}{bold}{italic}{reverse}{sub}{font}
{textsize}{align}
"Mes filles, que dites-vous!"

Scanning around this point in the O-Pro file (page 15), letter by letter I
find no Cien font. So to what is the font referring?

Well, the original is a pamphlet. Saving as a DDL looses that information.
