Blender Internal Animation Render Crashes with New Font I realize this sounds dubious ... possibly a bug... probably user error.

When I add a new font to a blender project that came with pre-packaged font it causes the BI animation rendering to crash Blender.

The message in the upper left says, 'Frame 1 ... Raytree Building', then Blender exits with no further warning or error message.  



... on tinkering around a little more it's a specific true type font that I just imported ...

Any guidance would be appreciated.
Answering My Own Question:

Blender is short on official documentation ... it appears that free type fonts are supported and of those Blender can be picky about fonts with ligatures, or connections between letters.

So far all the fonts from http://www.dafont.com, recommended on that site, that I have tried worked.  That said I've only tried 4 that were very close to the original. 

With that information I've been able to BI render the animated title sequence.
