yes but at times if the font does not get initialized in the correct order and then when referencing it , it will return clWHite as a default color, seen many times when a form is not fully painted the first time, its all white which is also another effect I have been seeing since a windows update.
even the browser is doing it at times..
basically I guess before a form is shown now maybe there should be check point for a valid font and brush otherwise they normally default to white.
