Good. > Netsurf was clearly not happy with these fonts and decided to freeze > the computer but perhaps an error message would help. The point is that NetSurf is simply asking the Font Manager to tell it which characters are present in each font. With some font data, this causes the machine to freeze. We have no way of detecting this before it happens (and thus, no error message is possible). Please send me, off list, a zipped copy of the problematic font files and we may be able to find out what causes the machine to freeze. Without these files, we have no way of debugging the issue and solving the problem properly. John.
