fontawesome-webfont.ttf file gets locked by system process on Windows 2016

[andreas-cloudnine]

Hi,

We are using Epi.FontThumbnail on a EPiServer site (version 10.4.2) and sometimes when we build via TeamCity to a Windows 2016 server we get an error saying the font file fontawesome-webfont.ttf is locked by the SYSTEM process. We then have to do an iisreset and delete the font to get it to build again. This only happens rarely (three times so far in about a months time).

I have found the following Stack Overflow thread, but it does not give a solution to the issue:

Is it possible to embed the font file in the assembly or similar to avoid this issue?

Thanks for the input, I will have a look at it!

@andreas-cloudnine Sorry for the delay :( I have done some changes to fix the issue you were having. The font is now an embedded resource and I have also done some changes to how the images are loaded (also to prevent locking of the generated images).

New version is uploaded to Episerver nuget feed and waiting for approval.

Get back to me with feedback if it solves the problems you were having.

Thanks!

It seems to work fine. We haven't had any issues since updating the NuGet package. I'll do a pull request if there are any other issues in the future instead of just suggesting a fix.

Thanks for the effort!
