Thank you for your response. I don't think I am quite as advanced a user as you. I am only using Inkscape to draw and print files. The problem seems to occur randomly, although I am sure there must be some logic in there somewhere. I am mostly not using text in my drawings when the problem occurs. It works 90% of the time but is annoying when it crashes.

With thanks Tony ________________________________ From: webmaster@inkscape.org webmaster@inkscape.org Sent: 11 March 2021 05:42 To: tonynicholls2@hotmail.com tonynicholls2@hotmail.com Subject: Forum activity on: Inkscape on Windows Crashes: How you can help

Dear T0ny,

A post has been edited on the topic "Inkscape on Windows Crashes: How you can help" by Gerald_Bettridge: --- I don’t use Inkscape normally but only to turn pdf files into emf. I’ve encountered the well-known «internal error inkscape will close» problem on internal import. I can of course use the other import option, but then I can’t untick the «replace pdf fonts by etc.» box which I need to do. Bear with me while I explain ― I make pdf files from PostScript files, then pass the pdf to Inkscape to get an emf. Now if the PostScript file uses the Symbol font, then I need to be able to untick that box, else the Greek letters show up as square boxes in the emf file. So I can use the Cairo import only if there are no symbols to display.Now what developers might find interesting is this:I have a file Sine.ps which yields Sine.pdf, and that works as it should, including displaying Times-Roman labels. It illustrates how to use Bézier curves to approximate the sine curve.I have a file Quad_Bézier_debug.ps which uses the same functions as the previous one plus a lot extra, to illustrate how a quadratic bézier curve is drawn. But that causes the internal error.This is where the plot thickens. If you comment out the last bit of the PostScript file, which seems above suspicion, to label 3 points P0, P1 and P2, in Times-Roman then it works!So that’s the exact point at which the problem kicks in. I can supply all the files mentioned above if you want. ---- Link: http://www.inkscape.org/forums/questions/inkscape-on-windows-crashes-how-you...
