Unable to access Arial.ttf file when Winamp is running
 

Hello

When Winamp is running, the file arial.ttf in the windows fonts directory is not accessible.

I use the following C code in my program to open the TTF file:
HANDLE hFile=INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
hFile=::CreateFile("C:\\windows\\fonts\\arial.ttf", GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL|FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN, NULL);

When I call my code with Winamp running,
the hFile value is : INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
GetLastError() returns ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION

Is a CloseHandle missing in WinAmp?

Regards
JP

PS: The problem does not appear with the Winamp classic skin
It appears with the Modern, Bento and Big Bento skins.
I'm back to the classic skin.

Sorry bad forum. Moved to Winamp Bug Reports
