I have about 700 fonts on my system and never had any trouble with it.Maybe you should try to remove the font that comes next to the last one that is displayed in the splash screen (and forward it to bugs at opac.ch so that we can investigate the issue and provide a fix).

We are not at all related to Microsoft. In fact, Creative Docs .NET is owned and distributed by a tiny Swiss ISV.Please let me know (bugs at creativedocs.net) if you find any issues. The font problem is known but I have currently no workaround for it. And the lack of documentation is also one of our top issues. There is some French documentation, which we will try to translate this Summer. You can have a look at it on http://www.epsitec.ch/support/download/doc#documents ("Manuel d'exemples" and "Manuel complet") which might give you some hints as how some tools work.And a few words about the licence: you may freely use and redistribute the binaries, code and examples, as long as you don't charge anything for it. You may not resell Creative Docs .NET, for instance. And you may not (yet) modify it. But you can do what you want with the artwork that you create with the software. There are no special restrictions, even if you produce commercial illustrations.Pierre Hi, I am one of the two authors working on our spare time on this project.

Nope, different company. Microsoft actually owns Paint.NET. I was wondering the same thing at first.
