That should work, I don't see anything in those three lines that would fail -- except maybe if
"the fontnames" couldn't be retrieved on that machine. It almost looks like the engine thinks
"the fontnames" is a custom function since it's reporting it can't find the handler.
I'm not sure how you'd fix that. I suppose you could wrap the clause in a "try" structure and
if it errors, assume the font isn't there.

The errors show up in a dialog window.
The section of code referenced is just checking the status a a custom font. On
Windows we install the font with an Inno installer (and on Mac we just start
using an embedded font). Here's my code with the line numbers added. 67 being
referenced several times in the error:
67) if "MyCustomeFontName" is in the fontNames then
68) put "installed" into tFontStatus
69) else put "loaded" into tFontStatus

I have a customer who is having a weird issue with a Windows app built in LC
(9.6.1). It worked fine for about a month, it works fine here for me all the
time and it works fine for all our other customers.
On startup is begins to launch then gets a bunch of errors:
269,76,1
262,67,1
252,67,1
241,67,1
353,0,0
573,68,1
253,68,1
241,67,1
353,0,0
Where do those appear?
And WTH happened to LC's error reporting dialog?
I see more and more error info reports like this in recent years. Presenting
anything like this to either devs or end-users is a horrible experience.
We can do better.
