Voiceattack crashes on load

[OverDhill]

I tried to run VoiceAttack today and it crashes on load.  Here is the log file. Not sure why

Wow - did you have a recently have a Windows update?  It's crashing on basic font creation, which is extremely atypical and means something is out of sorts on your setup.

You will want to start with running a system scan to see if there's anything that can be corrected easily.  Assuming you have Win 10 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

Hope that helps get you going again!


Edit -  Googling the error ('Font 'Segoe UI' does not support style 'Regular'') produced some other helpful ideas (here is just one):

Fixed it. Was a registry error for the font
