Making you happy:
@font.create is not executed before onCanvasPrepare, and the font thusly
accessed is invalid, causing segmentation fault. Solution proposed:

def create
	read_registry
	super  # this is where it looses control
	@font_created = true
	@font.create
	@back_buffer.create
	@canvas.setFocus
	update_title
end

and then a

return unless @font_created

in onCanvasPrepare (at the very start). Problems with this solution are:
a race condition exists. You would have to do that with a semaphore or
other.

The speed of the whole editor seems to be very slow under windows with
Fox. Can I ask you again to the exact reason why another fully evolved
editor like SciTE will not do ?

best regards,
