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'.
