Description:
Trying to open a MySQL Connection in the Workbench threw an error stating:

"The type initializer for 'HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontsUtils' threw an exception'.

That's all it said, but the connection wouldn't connect and the program was unusable from then on.

How to repeat:
- Open MySQL Workbench
- Try to connect to a MySQL Connection
- Error thrown

Suggested fix:
?

I have Windows 10 and have done a new install of Workbench and the same issue occurred: "HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontsUtils threw an exception."

Thanks, Marco...I found that too after I posted.  I was able to use that solution to fix it.  But, replacing .dll files manually for a bug that's been around for 8 months *probably* isn't the best long-term fix...
