As soon as I click on the font selection menu, Paint.NET crashes and closes:

Any ideas?

Have you recently installed a new font?

Either way, it looks like something in your fonts is corrupt...

[Kaolin]

Thank you!!!

A quick delete of a problem font and it was all solved :wink:

[MucusGland]

Will uninstalling and re-instaling a problem fornt fix the problem, because I have the same thing happen to me, but I really love the fonts that I believe are causing the problem.

[Rick Brewster]

In order to use Paint.NET, you will need to delete any trouble fonts.

Because of the error that is being thrown, it would not be safe to simply ignore it and continue on.

[RaveN]

I reccomend looking on font sites to find your favorite fonts, dafont.com is free of problem fonts, and they are all tested.....

I think I have almost all my fonts from dafont, and I also have this problem with the scroll freezing. Gonna delete all new fonts, and replace them one by one with a tryout on each after reinstalling. Thanx on the info peeps.

Jude, who likes a smooth running fonts window

eww, i crashed too. i chose a font (that i downloaded from dafont) and when i tried typing with it, crash.... help?

[Bob]

As stated earlier, your font may be corrupt.

Try removing it and redownloading it.

[HITMAN-X-]

jorge! what kind of font was it as Paint.NET only supports TureType Fonts.

Also how did you install it ?

Did you just drag and drop the font or did you use windows font installer like you should do. (I have see the drag and dorp make errors with good fonts were as the windows font installer I have not seen it make errors unless the font is corrupt)

Did you keep a list of fonts you have download and tested like was siad so you can pin point bad fonts.
