Older versions of TinyTERM cause some applications to report a general protection fault in GDI.EXE. This is caused by the presence of the TERM fonts. To get rid of the error, delete all term*.fon files.
This will cause TinyTERM display problem, since its fonts are gone. Add a new font to TinyTERM to fix the problem. Monospaced fonts such as Courier New or Lucida Console are best.
On the other hand, if TinyTERM itself is giving the GPF error, the problem is one of two possibilities:
- Duplicate TERM fonts. Check your Windows fonts directory. You’ll have several term*.fon files; i.e., term480.fon, term768.fon, etc. Delete all of those except the one with the highest number. The next time you start TinyTERM, the GPF should be gone.
- Hardware acceleration. TinyTERM versions 3.0 and earlier don’t always handle fast graphics cards well under Windows 95. In Control Panel, go into the Performance applet and lower the speed of your hardware acceleration to bypass the error.
