Hybrid Crashes during startup at Initializing Preview

[jweaver]

Thanks for the effort and update.

So, I am not sure if this is expected behavour, but I just installed your test version, and I saw 1000s of lines flash by in a console window..

But now the output to the console is looping.. And the app hasn't crashed.

WHen I use the scroll bars to stop the flow of test, its just the names of the fonts repeating over and over at 1000s of lines per second.

So it seems that the suspect font is just causing Hybrid to stick in a loop.

I am going to put the old version back now and start adding/removing fonts until I can work out what breaks/fixes it.

I cracked it.. And as soon as I did, I realised what was wrong, as when I installed the font, I remember thinking there was something odd about it.

The font in question is "MJ AlGhifari"... The reason its odd is that whilst its filename is "MJ AlGhifari.ttf", the font actually appears at the TOP of an alphabetical list.. And the reason is that there is a space infront of MJ.

So the font name is " MJ Alghifari" (note the space).. And its this space which appears to be affecting Hybrid...

If you want to test yourself, here it is:

To be honest, I can live without this and will remove it.. But I suspect if I look hard enough, I could find a tool to rename the font.. Infact, as hex editor might do the job.

But its something you might want to look at and fix in Hybrid if you feel its worth the effort.

Thanks for your help with this.. I am so glad I found this after playing with the fonts or I may never have worked out what broke it!!
