1. getFontDialog() Crashing
Here is the code:
fontresult = getFontDialog(Window17)
curr_font = fontresult[1] -- curr_font is a sequence
setFont(Printer, curr_font, 12, Normal)
It works perfectly on my computer (using winXP), but for my buddy who is
using win98 the program crashes to his desktop. He has the latest
euphoria interpreter, win32lib, and a .exw of the program.
When I comment out the above code the program runs fine for him.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

If you cancel the font dialogue, getFontDialog will return -1. So
fontresult must be an object or you'll get a type check error, and
even if it is, you'll get error attempt to subscript an atom on the
next line, so you need an if not atom(fontresult) to catch it.
If I don't cancel it, it appears to work fine on this win98, though I
didn't try printing anything.

What is the crash?
Will your mate send you the [top ten lines of the] ex.err file?
Can we have a look at it?
Did your friend key escape to the font dialog?=20
Have you tried keying escape to the font dialog?=20
Does the font dialog in say Notepad crash on his kit?=20
(Stranger things have been so)
Have you installed dependency walker and run it against comdlg32.dll?
Do you want any more helpful suggestions?
