Thanks for the report. We've seen this already, and it will be fixed in the next release. Best wishes, Taco

Well - it is version 0.63 and I've attached the build log file. -- MfG/Kind regards Toralf Förster pgp finger print: 7B1A 07F4 EC82 0F90 D4C2 8936 872A E508 7DB6 9DA3

Yes, but what puzzles me is the 'random runtime failures' so what font is the one that triggers it?

Looks like automated QA tool, so just a preemptive warning. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Egyptian Arab

There was enough information in that report for me, it is a warning from the compile process about a dodgy bit of C code and as such the report is fine. It is a bit sad that the tool is smart enough to recognize bad code but not smart enough to realise that that bit of code is not callable at all, but that is the current state of static analysis tools. Anyway, I fixed this 'problem' a month or so ago, so we can forget about it now. Best wishes, Taco
