MrsFinny Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Edited by Rick: You only need one question mark. Remember that in the future. Everytime I scroll thru my fonts, PDN crashes... Does anyone know why? Could it be because of a font I downloaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moc426 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 You have a bad font, see which you can scroll to before it crashes, find the bad one, remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireFly Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 My PDN sometimes crashes when I try and do something that takes ridiculously long to load -- and my fonts take a long time to load, but it has never made me crash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexikograph Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 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.

MattBlackLamb Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Try seeing if there's another version of the font or re-downloading it, if you want PDN to work you'll (more than likely) have to sort that font out.

lexikograph Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 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.

david.atwell Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 It's a .NET framework thing; it's not anything PdN specific.

lexikograph Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 .NET will install just fine, but as soon as it tries to access the bad font, it throws up its hands in surrender.

lexikograph Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 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).
