Hello This seems exactly like a problem I reported almost exactly a year ago - 15 July 2017. Peter Uhnak reported then that he saw it regularly. The only sure remedy we found is to reboot the machine - occasionally reboot twice. I am using Pharo 6.1 on Windows 10. Since that report, I have seen it very rarely. Most recently I found that the Pharo window appearance was distorted - wrong font size etc - but I did not see the debug console error message. Advice to Webwarrior - reboot machine and see if it goes away.

Hi, I've seen the FT distorted fonts when launched several images at the same time. It could be a way to reproduce it. Cheers, Hernán 2018-07-12 19:26 GMT-03:00 PBKResearch <peter@pbkresearch.co.uk>:

This is not FT plugin problem. This is Windows failing to load a proper dll for Pharo. Happens regularly at least with FT and Cairo. Peter On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 10:00 AM, webwarrior <reg@webwarrior.ws> wrote:

More specifically, it was suggested (by Herby, I think) that it is a timing problem with Windows loading several .dll files at the same time. If the loads complete in the right order, all is well; but in some cases, loading one .dll takes a bit longer, and it is not available when called by another. If correct, this explains why it happens intermittently. It also explains why it is so difficult to debug.

Agreed, it's not just FT. And it happens to me very often. Rebooting PC works every time (well, since it seems random-ish, MOST of the times), but to close all my work just to reboot PC for Pharo is quite annoying. Jan Peter Uhnák wrote
