HI all, hopefully someone can help with this, I've been googling for answers to this problem for 2 days now without any luck.
Basically, I'm at the stage where my application (originally written in .Net, ported to mono on linux, now trying to port to OS X) compiles fine, but running it provokes the error at the bottom of this message. Further testing has revealed that this error occurs for *any* mono application. Googling has revealed several cases of this error with winforms on OS X but no useful solution. I've tried copying fonts from my windows machine to ~/fonts and running mkfontdir on that directory but this results in 'Bus error'. Please help! Here's the error: Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.WindowsFormsSynchronizationCon text ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the typ e initializer for System.Windows.Forms.ThemeEngine ---> System.ArgumentException : The requested FontFamily could not be found [GDI+ status: FontFamilyNotFound] at System.Drawing.GDIPlus.CheckStatus (Status status) [0x00000] at System.Drawing.FontFamily..ctor (GenericFontFamilies genericFamily) [0x0000 0] at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.Drawing.FontFamily:.ctor (Syste m.Drawing.Text.GenericFontFamilies) at System.Drawing.FontFamily.get_GenericSansSerif () [0x00000] at System.Drawing.Font.CreateFont (System.String familyName, Single emSize, Fo ntStyle style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte charSet, Boolean isVertical) [0x00000] at System.Drawing.Font..ctor (System.String familyName, Single emSize, FontSty le style, GraphicsUnit unit, Byte charSet, Boolean isVertical) [0x00000] at System.Drawing.Font..ctor (System.String familyName, Single emSize, System.
