[FIXED] Access violation at address 03E47FF3 in module 'FCOutDrw.dll'.

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Bug Reports
1

Several users have reported issues with the new glyph outline draw DLL. On opening a font they see this error:

Access violation at address 03E47FF3 in module ‘FCOutDrw.dll’. Write of address 00000000 at address 03E47FF3

We are looking into this, and will update this topic as soon as we have a solution.

For now we have a workaround:
Do close FontCreator and then delete the file FCOutDrw.dll which can be found in Windows system folder. E.g. here:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\FCOutDrw.dll

Next time you start FontCreator it will use the old draw methods which are less smooth, but at least won’t crash FontCreator.
