Also, other programs that use the font have no problems. As for Vista, the machine is XP Pro SP3. As mentioned, the problem vanished the next day. Old backup copies of the compiled code now work again. Strange. Thanks. Webbiz

It might have been just a gradual leakage of resources from various running programs, some of which may have had small leaks that built up over time and that went away as soon as you did a reboot.

As I said, when the problem occurred, I immediately did a reboot and it didn't change anything. That's when it became a real problem. It wasn't until THE NEXT DAY that it started working again. :-) Webbiz
