Hello

 

I have a problem in loading Pharo images which, until yesterday, loaded
without difficulty. All the images showing the problem are Pharo 6 with the
Cog VM; older images do not seem to be affected.

 

The first sign of a problem is that, as soon as I start the image, the debug
console appears, with several repeats of the message: 

LoadLibrary(FT2Plugin.dll) (998: Invalid access to memory location.)

The other strange thing is that the appearance of some opened windows has
changed. Most obviously, the three icons at the top left (close, minimise,
expand) are very close together. Also, I think the print size has got a bit
smaller, though this is not obvious.

 

I have recently reinstalled some components of Pharo and Moose, trying to
solve my problems with PunQLite, so I wondered if I had fouled something up.
To check, I made a completely new install of Pharo 6 (#60508) from the Pharo
download page in a separate folder. When I start the image, both the strange
things above are present, plus a debug window with the message; 'FT2 Error:
Freetype2 primitive failed'.

 

So it looks as though something has happened to my system which means that
any Pharo 6 image will show these oddities. The images I have tried seem
able to run some of my functions correctly, so it's all to do with
appearance.

 

I am running on Windows 10 with all recent updates. There was a major update
of Windows late yesterday, so it may be that the problems appeared then.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Many thanks

 

Peter Kenny
