"unhandled exception" when changing fonts

Hi,

 

when changing the display fonts (ATC list & text messages) to other than the default ones (Microsoft Sans Serif & Courier New) and click on either "OK" or "apply", I get the following error message (sorry, it's in German):

The first sentence of the message says "unhandled exception in the application" and a bit below "the object reference was not set to an object instance". I also highlighted the "exception description".

 

It seems vPilot (currently using version 2.0.11 on Win 10 64 bit) does incorporate any font changes, simply the exception message seems to be weird.

 

Regards,

Christoph

I am unable to reproduce this issue ... I wonder if it has something to do with you running a non-US system. Do you know if other German users are having the same issue?

Did some further testing on my side: I can easily reproduce here when changing the text messages font to any other font, revert it back to Courier New and click on either "OK" or "apply". Seems to be no problem with changing the ATC station font.

 

Didn't think of any issue with US or non US system, though. I'm sorry I can't tell whether other German users have the same issue, I'm relatively new to Vatsim (joined about 3 weeks ago).

Ahh, that extra info helped me to reproduce ... switching BACK to Courier New causes it. I should be able to fix it now. Thanks.

This has been fixed, the fix will be in the next release. I'm not going to do a new release just for this fix since it doesn't sound like it's causing any real problems.
