Description:
Two PC's that used to work perfectly on Workbench 6.2 & other on 6.3
After Windows 10 upgrade consistently they give the following error on connecting to a remote or local MySQL instance.

The error message window says:

MySQL Workbench has encountered a problem
The type initializer for 'HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontUtils' threw an exception.

It is early days but I imagine that I am not the first person with this 

How to repeat:
By closing the Workbench which can't carry on anyway (windows requires it to be done anyway)

Attempting connection to a different (previously working) connection.

Trying the operation on another Windows 10 machine Version 6.2 and the problem re occurs every time
