Description:
MySQL Workbench throws an ArgumentException shortly after the splashscreen.  Debugging reveals this to be caused by the font Trebuchet Bold not being installed in the Windows/Fonts folder on this system.

How to repeat:
Temporarlty remove the file Trebucbd.ttf from the Windows\Fonts folder.

Suggested fix:
MySQL should adopt another font or prompt user to install Trebuchet.

Thank you for the bug report. I couldn't repeat on Windows Vista 64-bit.

Same for me (crash after splash), due to missing Trebuchet font. No idea why this font file was away.

To repeat, remove the font TREBUC.TTF (the regular font face), not the bold variant as mentioned by Jon.

It happened on XP SP3, and also on W7 PRO (not recommended to delete a font file in W7. Rather use regular delete method)
