When attempting to change a font to a truetype font (*.ttf) using the pathname outside of the X:\%windir%\fonts\, mirc crashes. This does not crash mirc if the font is a .fon file. The font must exist, otherwise, mirc changes the font to the default. Examples below.
/font -z 12 "c:\program files\mirc\hypertt.ttf" crashes
/font -a 12 "c:\program files\mirc\anademo.ttf" crashes
/font -z 12 "c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf" does NOT crash
/font -a 10 "c:\program files\mirc\5x8.fon" does NOT crash
OS: Windows XP SP2 RC2
I could forward the VS2003 debug info if needed.
