Windows startup issue

[Marty Knapp]

The errors show up in a dialog window.

The section of code referenced is just checking the status a a custom font. On Windows we install the font with an Inno installer (and on Mac we just start using an embedded font). Here's my code with the line numbers added. 67 being referenced several times in the error:

67) if "MyCustomeFontName" is in the fontNames then
68)   put "installed" into tFontStatus
69) else put "loaded" into tFontStatus
