Hi,
I use to download my Inkscape from inkscape.modevia.com/win32
The last version that worked was from 2008 12 30 With all later versions I had a very basic problem with the text-tool: when I open the fonts-dialog the program freezes and tells me, that it has to be shut down. see: http://hagoschaos.de/ink
Regards, Hago
Hallo,
I forgot: Win XP and the same on Vista - there the crash comes immediately, without the font-dialog.

I wonder, - just practically -, when you access the list of fonts directly from the the interface (the drop-down box) or when you press the big "T" ?
I mean, if one crashes, but the other doesn't, that would at least provide a work-around.

Hallo Maarten van der Velde,:

No difference, it crashes in both situations. In Vista it crashes and even disappears directly after opening it.

The windows build has become very unstable the last few weeks. I'm working on it, and hope to have found the cure soon. Sorry :-( Johan

I've also been looking into it. My guess is that the problem (if it is just one) was introduced between 28-12 and 04-01, because three of the rendering tests suddenly started crashing during that period.
At least one of the tests crashes in Path::AddPoint (the pts.push_back line) in Path.cpp (while being called during Glyph rendering, I can provide more details if needed). I haven't looked closely at the other three, but it is at least suspicious that all three tests have text in them (while pretty much all other tests don't).
The "crash on start" bug seems to crash inkscape right AFTER calling (and exiting) the first idle loop. I haven't looked deeper into this, but from what I'm seeing I'm guessing there is some memory corruption/initialization issue. This could also explain the different behaviour on different platforms.
