EarTrumpet crashes when Segoe fonts have Mark of Web
davuxcom opened this issue · comments
A problem exists in Windows 10, where Desktop Bridge (aka Centennial) applications (like EarTrumpet) will fail to load system fonts (e.g. Segoe UI, Segoe MDL2 Assets) if they contain a Mark of the Web. This could occur, for example, after upgrading from Windows 8.1 where marked fonts were manually installed.
Fix a crash resulting from fonts containing a Mark of the Web
Anything else I can do to help? Would be glad to help out any way I can :D Loved using Eartrumped when it worked and would love to start using it again :D
@toth-Daniel Can you try:
- Close any instances of EarTrumpet
- Download and run https://live.sysinternals.com/procmon.exe
- In the filter window, add:
- Process Name | contains | EarTrumpet
- Click OK
- Start EarTrumpet and let it crash
- Type CTRLE into Process Monitor to stop capturing (or click the magnifying glass)
- File > Save to a PML on disk
- Upload PML to https://1drv.ms/f/s!AnjdAnZZcu-GpLFULY7DIxmMPXHc6A
Should be done :)
@toth-Daniel Can you check if C:\Users\tothd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\segoeui.ttf has an unblock checkbox?
Ah, now THAT one does, yes :D I assume I have to unblock it? :D
@toth-Daniel Yeah try unblocking and start EarTrumpet.
Thanks dawg, now it works!!!!! Much love :)
Wanted to add that I just resolved the issue by unblocking SegoeUI-Light.ttf.
The manual instructions at https://eartrumpet.app/help/fix-crash-resulting-from-fonts-containing-mark-of-the-web/ don't include that file. It wasn't until I went to see which fonts had been cached in step 7 that I realized that font file was cached. It was the only font file there.
Also, step 8 (uninstall/reinstall) wasn't necessary for me.
