happened repeatedly in a workshop and affected both mac and PC users. Unchecking the box
made it work fine.

crash log won't fit so i'll email it.

probably a bad font or more apple bugs... theoretically there's nothing we
can do from inside straight java code to actually produce a hard crash like
this one, unless we're connecting to native code, which is not the case for
Create Font.

you might also check to see if it's running out of memory (try increasing
RAM by adjusting the Info.plist) and then somehow crashing the jvm in the
process.

The bug also affects me.

I don't know where to look for the proper crashlog, as reported in http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?
board=Suggestions;action=display;num=1222693765

My Environment:
Processing 0148
MacOSX 10.4.11 (8S2167)
Java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-241)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-121, mixed mode, sharing)

what sort of crash, and using what font?

if you get "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" and a bunch of
other red text in the console, that means you need to increase the memory
available to the processing application.
