Freezing up constantly while scrolling
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2023 8:43 pm
I have Maintype 11, and on my Windows 10 computer when I try to scroll through all my 3300 fonts (680 active), it constantly freezes up. I figured out that it freezes in the E's, G's, R's, S's and W's. Especially the R's and S's. This happened a couple years ago on my Windows 7 laptop, but then all of a sudden it resolved itself and it's been fine since. I don't know if I deleted a particular font, or what. But I printed a list of the fonts on my old and new systems, and except for some of the fonts that come with Windows, both lists are the same.
Following the suggestion in an old thread, I checked the registry editor, and there are no entries. When I run MainType in Safe Mode, it doesn't freeze up, but I don't see any font previews, so I can't keep it in Safe mode when I'm trying to use it!
I must have some bad fonts, but how do I narrow it down? Even though it's only 5 letters, it's several hundred fonts. I ran the registry fixer in Maintype, and it didn't find or fix anything.
