Hello List,

I have created a way for people to select any font that is located on
there system and then (while in a projector) select and embed the font
into director. 

The way I have done this is to store the font they have selected into a 
BLOB Field that is in the Valintina Data Base.

So, the user selects the font they would like to use so I call:

-----
myNewFontMember = new(#font, member 4 of castLib "Font")
recordFont(myNewFontMember, itemText )
-----

itemText is the font they have selected

And then:

-----
SetMedia ( gCursor, "var", member 4 of castlib "font" )
updateRecord(gCursor)
-----

var is the BLOB Field in valintina

All is good up to here:)

Now I try to read the font from the BLOB Field and I receive a error or
crash ( memory related I think )from calling this:

----
GetMedia ( gCursor, "Var", member 2   )
----

Read Font Data into member 2 so that it is know an embedded Font for
director to use.

Anyone know why I'm getting the error/crash?

Thank you,
Mattie,
