When creating a new drawing using the E size template or when opening the Equipment Library WireCAD crashes to the desktop with the following exception message in the event viewer:

This is a tricky one. There was a registry error in the fonts section. When a drawing is loaded that contains a font that is not found on the system another font is substituted. All fonts on the system are searched. In this case there was a registry entry that had a key with the font name but no value in the data field.

Using the registry editor either delete the corrupt key or enter the appropriate data.

We are working with the drawing engine guys to bullet proof this.

Here is a screen grab of the offending registry entry. As you can see the Data field is empty.
