Description:
Before today, ever was working 100%. I would connect to my AWS server and all. Suddenly I ran into this error now. "the type initializer for 'HtmlRenderer.Utils.FontsUtils' threw an exception".
Its clearly an issue with the FONT of the system/application. For me everything was working fine and BOOOM, all of a sudden i started getting this error. I can remeber installing several new fonts on my system b4 today.

I have even installed the latest version which is MysqlWorkbench8.0.20 and this error still persist.
What do u think is the cause or solution to this error

How to repeat:
I trully dont know how this Bug can be repeated.
