Subject: [RBASE-L] - R:BASE help files .chm could no longer be opened -
solved
Problem
On one computer it was no longer possible to open R:BASE help files
(.chm). Regardless of whether it was tried from R:BASE or directly from
the Windows file system.
When opening a help file, it sometimes indicated that the frame was
open, but then on the right side, where the help text is normally
displayed, the area was
empty or sometimes even the help window closed by itself.
Cause
Finally, the problem was found in a font file VGA850.FON stored in a
user-specific local area. It seems that it is corrupted. Each time .chm
files were called, the font was loaded and Windows Help crashed.
It was found that the font file VGA850.FON was installed in two
different locations:
a) normal Windows fonts: C:\Windows\Fonts\
b) user specific area:
C:\user\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\
Solution/workaround
After renaming the user specific folder b) the problem was solved.
Which application installation was the reason for this "special" font
file could not be determined.
Maybe this information will help with a similar problem with Windows
help system anyway.
Stay tuned and have fun with R:BASE
Adrian
