Font Problem with Developer

kmaxwell · ‎Apr 18, 2003

It seems there is a bug in Developer 8.01 which is included with AdminStudio 5.0. If you try to open the properties of a font which is missing embedded version information, developer will crash with the following error:

Exception ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)
at address 0x77c02bbe trying to read address 0x038bc470.

What can I do to get around this set I can set language on a font of this type. An example font has been attached.

Thanks,

Hopefully IS works this out.
Until then you if you remove the optional title with a hex editor, the version tab does not show. I attached the new FNT.
If you have a HEX editor check out lines 00003ba0h & 00003bb0h to see what was done. Hopeful you don't have to do this often.

😛 How did you ever find this???

I found this problem while repackaging Macromedia Freehand. I kept experiencing this error in developer whenever I would try set a default language on the .FON file. Then I decided to manually set a language in the MSI file table. After I did this I experienced the error whenever I tried to build my MSI. I put it all together and figured it had to be unhandled situation when an .FON had no properties....

Did you report this to the IS folks, or just in the threads?
