Another user reported this bug, which I still have been unable to reproduce --
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=4794E454.4070700%40bostream.nu Jorgen tracked it down to a specific font on his system that he was able to delete and then things worked. Unfortunately, when I tried the same font on my system, I could not reproduce the error. Perhaps this issue has to do with the *number* of fonts. Do you have an unusually large amount of fonts?
