Unhandled exception error - Arial Font? NEED HELP

[zelcola73]

Hi,

I purchased ATG yesterday so I do believe I have the latest version. My computer meets all the minimum requirements and runs on Windows Vista. The game will not launch from menu as the following message pops up:

Unhandled exception has occured (...) Font Arial does not support style 'Regular'.

Here's the error details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


I did my homeworks and read pretty much every threads on this subject. I have reinstalled the Arial and Arial Black fonts. To no avail. The game keeps crashing with the same error message. Please help me.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have problems. But I am pretty sure somehow your Arial fonts are still corrupted. The problem is very probably the re-install of the fonts did not go well.

Could you try installing this (albeit a bit old) microsoft font update?

Best,

Thanks Vic for your quick response. No luck. I was able to download and install the font but it had no effect what so ever on ATG. The problem persists.

What now?

Thanks Roy,

Downloaded, installed but still no effect. My game is installed in the default C:Matrix Games directory. C: is where windows is installed as well.

I would try next to find another user of Vista and copy their arial fonts to a thumb drive and then put those in your font folder.

Update: I emailed you the Ariel fonts from my machine.

If anyone else should experience this issue, here is a link to the fonts: Arial

It Worked. Now on to enjoy this gem!

Cheers!
