I type some text and then want to change the font to some other font and the program crashes.
I have tried two ways. I click on the text and then go up to the font bar and scroll down to the font I want to use, but before I even get a chance to scroll much the program crashes. The second way is I highlight the text I want to change, and again go up to the font bar and start to scroll down to the font I want, and the program again crashes and closes.
Any suggestions what the problem could be? I use Windows XP.
seems a problem with your fonts on Windows. How many font have you installed? More than 200? Do you use Font Navigator?
I have over 1,100 installed, I'm bad, and it isn't a problem.
A corrupt font could be; as they are rendered in the list. But it could be anything.
Make a folder, copy all the fonts from windows/fonts to that folder and delete everything by the basic windows needed fonts.
If it still crashes go to my half finished troubleshooting page on the wiki and start working through the list...

The page I'm waiting for some of you to spot and start adding to.
Ideally you should troubleshoot starting with hardware > OS > application
That could come from a memory error, disk error, virus, bad font, OS file damage or Draw issue.
If it's not a simple font issue start at the 'bottom' and work to the 'application'.

Yes, some people smokes all you life and never have cancer, and some people drives at 200 km /hour and never crashes...
The more clean is your system, less problems you will have. Of course, there`s no a "phisical" limit for the use of fonts, but sometimes the execc of fonts is the origin of the problem, because Windows can`t drive correctñy hundreds of fonts, and if displays 1100, perhaps is 1400 or 1800 but Windows can't see all installed fonts.
Of course, the reason can be another system error, a virus, the temp files, and more... but I think that we must start for the most logical.
Of all the issue in all of windows fonts have never been one since XP. I wouldn't claim it's a good idea it makes windows boot like a dog and some apps as well. I grew up on win386 if you loaded too many fonts (I think 40 or so) it would corrupt the win.ini file. My habit comes from my rejection of remembering any of the win386 nightmare days. I'm still using my original XP install 3 disk moves later, they tend to accumulate. There is some real junk in there I'd never use... so I swear next week I'll change my wicked ways. ;)
