Can you show it to us? Have you installed Sublime Text before?

Yeah. I installed it before. Never ran into the problem before. This was on my new laptop. I installed it successfully. It ran good for few weeks. Then suddenly it stopped launching. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn’t help.

Thanks

You should maybe revert to a fresh stage. A plugin maybe, or wrong formatted settings file.

I think I had the same problem once: If you ctrl+alt+suppr, task manager, you’ll find ST. Select it and click end task. If you restart ST, you should get an error message. If it’s the case, or not, revert, it’s probably the cause.

There is no process running for ST.

“If you restart ST, you should get an error message. If it’s the case, or not, revert, it’s probably the cause.” - I didn’t get this.

Further I have not installed any plugins.

What happens when you try to start ST?

Anyway, it doesn’t really matter. Revert to a fresh state and tell me if it works.

I tried reverting to fresh state. It didn’t worked. Crash dump file is being created when I tried to launch ST

I am trying to change system fonts by altering system font registries. Everything else is working fine.
Other text edit editors are working fine.

Sorry, I’m not really good when it comes to this kind of things… ::frowning: I guess Google’s you new best friend :wink:

I have googled enough and couldn’t find anything. My last resort is to approach ST forums…

Hum… Maybe open your setting file (%appdata%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Preferences.sublime-settings) and change the font name, so that ST doesn’t try to load the font that you edited

not too sure on the rules about old posts but i do think this is a bug.
earlier today i decided to change my system font for fun by using this .reg file.

"Segoe UI"="courier new"

i tried multiple fonts in place of courier new and sublime text 3 would not launch.
but when i set Segoe UI back to its default like the .reg file below, sublime launches without a problem.
i didn’t test every single line to see if i could find the problem, but hopefully this guides you in the right direction.

Can you try reproducing with dev build 3131? The font selection for the theme engine works differently now, so it may no longer run into that issue.

thanks wbond
dev build 3131 does launch.
sadly i don’t have a license but used a friend’s license to make sure.
can’t wait til this gets pushed to beta.
