Crash playing with font

I was trying to work out how the font editor works when I hit this crash:

/**
 * Gets or loads a freetype font face
 *
 * @param InFontData Information about the font to load
 */
FT_Face GetFontFace( const FFontData& InFontData )
{
	FFontFaceAndMemory* FaceAndMemory = FontFaceMap.Find(&InFontData);
	if (!FaceAndMemory && InFontData.BulkDataPtr)
	{
		int32 LockedFontDataSizeBytes = 0;
		const void* const LockedFontData = InFontData.BulkDataPtr->Lock(LockedFontDataSizeBytes);

BulkDataPtr is 0xddddddddddddddd

I had been switching the “hint” type to see what effect different settings had.

The forum is refusing to upload my output file but it doesn’t seem very interesting.

Hey -

Can you elaborate on what you were working on when this crash occurred? Are you able to reproduce it in a new project? If so can you please include steps that I could use to reproduce the crash on my end? The more detailed info you can provide the easier it would be for me to reproduce and report the crash.

Cheers

Hi ,

I created a new font and was cycling through the different hint options.

  1. New font

  2. Add font

  3. Set file C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.8\Engine\Content\Slate\Fonts\Roboto something

  4. Play with hint options (cycle between them) and crash!

  • I haven’t been able to repro it
  • As I was experimenting to see what different options and only just starting to play with the font editor exact steps are missing :frowning:
  • I may have had a sub font group, I may have had different top level font options.

Sorry not to have more information!

Hey -

I tested and was not able to reproduce this myself either. If you do see a crash when using the font editor please feel free to post a comment to provide information on what you were doing when the crash occurred as well as the log files from the crash
