[Rd] RGui Configuration editor crashes when using an unlisted font (PR#13780)
Full_Name: Richard Cotton Version: 2.9.0 OS: Windows XP, SP2, 32 bit Submission from: (NULL) (87.102.99.18) To reproduce the crash: 1. Create an RConsole file for your user account. 2. Close R. 3. Manually edit the font line to include a font that is not on the standard list of available fonts, e.g. font = Verdana 4. Open R. (At this point the console text should appear in the new font you have chosen.) 5. Click Edit -> Gui preferences to open the RGui Configuration Editor. R will now crash. I have reproduced this using the names of several different fonts in the RConsole file, and on several WinXP boxes. I also tried contacting the R-Devel list [1] to see if the problem extends to other OSes, though there has been no response so far.
