>Summary: unhandled exception concerning font used in NPlot

Initial Comment:
Hi Guys
NPlot uses call to arial font that causes an unhandled exception to be generated on some systems running windows xp. It looks like the font is not always properly registered with the system. Although this problem is probably a Microsoft issue it does not seem very user friendly to delegate the problem to the end-user.

I found a discussion on this topic on the following site:
http://www.spheresite.com/forum/read.php?7,92872,93423

Maybe an exception has to be generated "Font arial is not properly installed (in windows), please reinstall". Alternatively a message could be displayed giving this information to the user.

Cheers

Onno
