Font cache stuck
Hey guys, I know you are tired of 'font cache' bugs. It's just these problems are around for quite a long time. I updated each VLC version with a huge hope this will get fixed, but...
Yes, I did read that main problem is corrupted font files (and maybe full Unicode MS font files (just like 'Arial Unicode MS')).
But let me ask one thing, what about fault tolerance. I love the way vlc handles incomplete/broken video files. Couldn't the corrupt font file also be handled gracefully?
Bug details:
OS: Win 7 Enterprise
Version: 1.1.5
Desc: Font cache stuck (unable to play anything) VLC repeatedly reads (corrupted???) large Unicode font files. These fonts came with Win7 and cannot be deleted.
Solution: Fallback to "Dummy font rendering" mode
