Description:
When double clicking 'Local instance MySQL56' to open the connection, the program reports an error saying:

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

The connection cannot be opened.

This happens every time when I run MySQL Workbench. Have tried uninstall and reinstall. No good.

How to repeat:
Install the latest MySQL Workbench and open it. Use default configurations. Double click 'Local instance MySQL56' and you'll see this bug, at least on my computer.

Hello Bandara,
