Strange RunTime Error Using Data Compare

• 
  Hello,
  
  Sorry, no. This doesn't ring a bell with me. Can you please tell me what operating system this occurs on?

  Win XP Service Pack 2
  
  I also have tried reinstalling the app. Still no luck. Today, I will try installing on a clean build.

  I'd just noticed something...
  Is the font error actually being thrown by the debugger (after you click OK)?
  
  Is the error that SQL Data Compare encounters a different error?

  When I fire up the app, it blows up before it opens. I get a a window titled
  
  RedGate.SQLDataCompare.UI.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
  
  Application has generated an exception that could not be handled
  
  If I click cancel to start the debugger I get another window from the CLR debugger:
  
  System.ArgumentException in system.drawing.dll
  
  Additional information: Font 'Courier New' doesn't support style 'Regular'

  Hello,
  
  According to Microsoft, Courier New font should already be installed on your computer. Can you please try installing your OEM fonts by following Microsoft's recommendations in the link below?

  That did it. Thanks for the suggestions. Now my next task is to figure out how the fonts got corrupted...
