If you ever get this unusual error on your poser application (Poser 5 with no sr), the solution is quite simple. Let's go back a bit: My problem was that all of the sudden I couldn't conform anything, I checked for virus, graphics card, memory, swapping, and nothing seemed to work, so I thought maybe it was the O.S (I`ve got Windows 2000 + sr4) but then I realize something (this is so simple): Poser uses a font called asifon.fon for its dialog boxes, but I've set my applications to see only TTF fonts, and Poser as obedient as it could be took the first TTF font it found which was a dingbat font and used it on its dialog boxes. You know that dingbats fonts are made of special characters, so Poser couldn't understand how to write information using that font and the problem appeared. So I set my appplication to see any font installed in the system, and everything came back to normality.. Weird bug, I don't know if it has been solved in Poser 6 or using the latest SR for Poser 5...
