EarTrumpet crashes when Segoe fonts have Mark of Web

[davuxcom]

A problem exists in Windows 10, where Desktop Bridge (aka Centennial) applications (like EarTrumpet) will fail to load system fonts (e.g. Segoe UI, Segoe MDL2 Assets) if they contain a Mark of the Web. This could occur, for example, after upgrading from Windows 8.1 where marked fonts were manually installed.

@toth-Daniel Can you try:

• Close any instances of EarTrumpet
• Download and run https://live.sysinternals.com/procmon.exe
• In the filter window, add:
  • Process Name | contains | EarTrumpet
• Click OK
• Start EarTrumpet and let it crash
• Type CTRLE into Process Monitor to stop capturing (or click the magnifying glass)
• File > Save to a PML on disk
• Upload PML to https://1drv.ms/f/s!AnjdAnZZcu-GpLFULY7DIxmMPXHc6A

Should be done :)

@toth-Daniel Can you check if C:\Users\tothd\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts\segoeui.ttf has an unblock checkbox?

[toth-Daniel]

Ah, now THAT one does, yes :D I assume I have to unblock it? :D

[riverar]

@toth-Daniel Yeah try unblocking and start EarTrumpet.

[toth-Daniel]

Wanted to add that I just resolved the issue by unblocking SegoeUI-Light.ttf.

The manual instructions at https://eartrumpet.app/help/fix-crash-resulting-from-fonts-containing-mark-of-the-web/ don't include that file. It wasn't until I went to see which fonts had been cached in step 7 that I realized that font file was cached. It was the only font file there.

Also, step 8 (uninstall/reinstall) wasn't necessary for me.
