BMFont Crashing on Save

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that BMFont is crashing for me whenever I try and save a generated font or the font configuration... It used to work fine (last tried it a couple of months ago) but today it just crashes. I've rebooted, tried the latest version etc. but no luck. It also crashes on the Mac under Wine (it used to work in crossover) - again it crashes on save so it could be related - Wine reports a divide by 0 not being caught Any ideas? Matt
I assume this is with BMFont 1.12. Am I correct?

Can you tell me the configurations that you're using when this crash happens?

Yep, 1.12 - From memory it was using a 28px high font, 0 border, antialaising on. Everything else basically default with just the top ascii characters used.

Older versions crash too, and it's only started recently - wondering if it's somehow related to a .net update or similar? Still runs fine on my mate's box so hasn't stopped me doing what I wanted.

I know you keep the source close to the heart but I'd be more than happy to build and run a debug version and see what's going on in VS if you'd like - of course I wouldn't distribute it and I'd even still use your official releases rather than add anything to it myself!
BMFont is not using .NET so that shouldn't be cause (though it might still be). I also link statically with the runtime library so any version problem with that is probably not the case either.

Are you saying that the exact same configuration on your machine and your mate's machine is crashing on your machine but not on his?

I tried to reproduce it here on my machine with the settings you mentioned, but I didn't have any success.

Would you mind posting screenshots of the two configuration dialogs and the main window so that I can see the exact settings? Or perhaps you can save the configuration from your mate's machine and post that here?

I'll grab a screen shot of the config from his in a few mins - I can't get it from mine at the moment as I've got my Mac Book with me today instead - I think the crash on the mac through wine is unrelated as it can't even do the preview (same div by 0 as when it saves).
