SYMPTOMS
When FoxPro is printing a large number of fonts under Windows 3.x (16-bit Windows), FoxPro displays the following error message:

Resource Manager Internal Consistency Error

Additionally, Visual FoxPro then displays the following error message:

Win32s - Error Unhandled Exception detected. Application will be terminated.

NOTE: Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Windows prints a much greater number of fonts than Visual FoxPro 3.0 for Windows does before displaying the error message.



CAUSE
FoxPro is not properly releasing graphics device interface (GDI) resources under Windows.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Problem
The following program demonstrates the problem: SET TALK OFF CLEAR m.points = 10 @ 12,20 SAY 'Enter the point size ' GET m.points PICTURE '99' READ @ 12,0 @ 12,30 SAY 'Printing' SET CONSOLE OFF IF afont[FONTS] SET PRINT ON  _PLINENO = 56 m.counter = 1 m.numfonts = ALEN(fonts,1) DO WHILE m.counter <= m.numfonts m.this_font = LTRIM(fonts(m.counter)) SET CONSOLE ON     @ 12,39 SAY SPACE(20) @ 12,39 SAY m.this_font SET CONSOLE OFF AFONT(sizes,(m.this_font)) IF _PLINENO > 52 DO rpthead ENDIF ?     ? 'This is a 10 point sample of ' + m.this_font IF ALEN(sizes) = 1 .AND. TYPE('sizes(1)') = 'L' .AND. sizes(1) = .T.        ?? '. This is a scalable font.' ENDIF ?
