Using wxEuphoria version 16 the following two-line program produces an error file, shown below the program, which reveals more than one problem.
include wxeu/wxeud.e constant F = create(wxFont,{12,wxDEFAULT,wxNORMAL,wxNORMAL})
The error file is
C:\euphoria\Site_Lib\wxeu\wxeud.e:6077 in function callProc()
call to error_call_back() via routine-id should pass 1 argument, not 19
rid = 9
o = {
{105'i',110'n',100'd',101'e',120'x',32' ',111'o',117'u',116't',
32' ',111'o',102'f',32' ',98'b',111'o',117'u',110'n',100'd',115's'},

A machine-level exception occurred during execution of this statement (signal 5)
First problem:The defaults for the wxFont parameters underline and faceName are invalid and not as documented.
Second problem:
Instead of reporting an invalid argument an attempt is made to report index out of bounds, rather meaningless.
Third problem:
Instead of reporting index out of bounds the error file shows "should pass 1 argument, not 19"
(The string index out of bounds is 19 characters long).
These problems have probably been reported before, but I could not find any reference to them.
Adding ,0,"" to the parameter list produces a sensible result.

PS: The machine-level exception did not always appear and I am ignoring that.
