Thanks, I'm glad you can confirm that - or am I misunderstanding you? Allthough at a point PDN would not even install, and to get back to the version which would at least start, I copied the whole PDN-folder from another computer which worked perfectly (tip from another topic in this forum).

Thanks for the explanation and the tip about Microsoft. I have been trying to find something on the net about font problems with the NET framework, because it might be useful to be able to test fonts for compatibility, but so far I have not found anything. Anyway, since the NET framework installed despite a number of apparently defective fonts, it does seem to be less finnicky.

Thanks for your reply. In the end I have rebuilt the font (which is an internal product of our firm) by copying the glyphs I needed into another font; now Paint.NET is no longer bothered by it. Still, I would have preferred that Paint.NET simply ignored the font, since I will only ever use it for one particular document, and certainly never in any graphics.

I have exactly the same problem as MrsFinny. Removing the font would solve the problem. Unfortunately I need the font which otherwise works fine. I have (on XP PRO SP2) repaired the NET framework and reinstalled Paint.net, but no improvement.
