[gradsusr] Error Unable to open font file

[Jennifer Adams]

Hi, Michael — 
I do not know what is causing your crash or why GrADS could open a font file once, but fail later on. As a workaround, I suggest taking your ‘set font’ command (the one where you define the font) outside the loop, it only needs to be there once. After that, if you change font numbers inside your loop, you can juse use ‘set font n’ and then GrADS won’t try to open the file repeatedly.
