FYI, I didn't know that the font was corrupt. I have over 400 fonts on my machine, and had to reload to pick up the new ones. You'll find that having a large number of fonts will start to become a common situation as more fonts become public (e.g., Google's Free Web Fonts project). This increases the chances that some of those fonts will be corrupt.
It is a low priority, but a corrupt font should not cause a program to hang or crash. The software should exit gracefully, and perhaps strongly suggest to standard error that the user investigate that particular font file. For my particular application, eventually I will allow users to upload custom fonts. If they upload a font that is corrupt (accidentally or intentionally), a run-away process would make for a rainy day. Kindest regards. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
