   Not sure what happened to the comment I wrote so I’ll try again.

   Basically EasyGlyph crashes for me when launching on Windows XP running in Parallels.

   Looking for any help and suggestions.

   Hey Michael,

   I’ll post a new version of EasyGlyph shortly. Not sure what could be happening. I’m also using XP but in VMWare. If you are familiar with VisualStudio/.NET/C# I’m happy to send you the source code and you can try running it in debug mode. Just let me know.

   Cheers
   Alexei

   Hi Alexei,

   Thanks for the reply.

   I’ll try the new version once its available. Thanks for the offer of the source code but I know very little about .net etc.

   The error message I get when I launch is as follows:

   “The application failed to launch properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application”

   Not sure if this helps but let me know if there is anything you want me to try. The app looks brilliant and would love to use it!

   Thanks again. Michael.

   Hi there, I fixed a nasty memory leak in your init method, this is the patch:

   -(void)initFont:(NSString *)fontImage:(NSString *)charSt:(NSString *)fontInfo {
   fontUIImage = [UIImage imageNamed:fontImage];
   characterDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
   charSet = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:charSt];
   charSetLength = [charSet length];
   NSArray *chunks = [fontInfo componentsSeparatedByString: @";"];
   for (int i = 0; i < charSetLength; i++) {

   NSString *ch = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[charSet substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)]];

   EasyGlyphChar *cf = [[EasyGlyphChar alloc] init];
   NSString *ich = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:[chunks objectAtIndex:i]];
   NSArray *dta = [ich componentsSeparatedByString: @","];
   cf.x = [[dta objectAtIndex:0] floatValue];
   cf.y = [[dta objectAtIndex:1] floatValue];
   cf.w = [[dta objectAtIndex:2] floatValue];
   cf.h = [[dta objectAtIndex:3] floatValue];
   cf.kernx1 = [[dta objectAtIndex:4] floatValue];
   cf.kernx2 = [[dta objectAtIndex:5] floatValue];
   [characterDict setObject:cf forKey:ch];
   [ch release];
   [ich release];
   }

   [fontImage release];
   [charSt release];
   [fontInfo release];
   }

   Good luck , and thanks!
