Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] BUG? Selecting some fonts crashes ethereal 0.10.6 (Windows)
Hello,
I dislike cluttering up a newslist with possibly duplicate posts, however I couldn't figure out a way to (quickly) check if the bug I'm seeing has already been reported. My apologies if this is known problem.
I'm running ethereal on Windows 2000 Pro with SP4. When I attempt to change the font in preferences ethereal abends/crashes when I merely select the font in the preferences dialog window. Hopefully this will be easy enough for others to recreate. (Of course if no one else can reproduce the problem then I guess it's not a real problem, no? ;-)
The crash occurs when I attempt to select any of the following fonts:
marlett, serif, symbol, webdings, wingdings
I get essentially the same error message for each crash (font/error msg are follow below). Looks like an "ASSERT" statement is being triggered. Probably easy enough to fix for anyone with a clue. But I'm afraid I don't have either a clue or MS VC++ 7 so I can't look into this beyond posting this note.
