Shouldn't there be an apostrophe in "Peter's?"
Just being argumentative!

So I had a strange issue yesterday with a WPF app running on Windows 7 Embedded. It would hard crash when the user clicks inside a password box. After some debugging and searching for solutions it turns out that Embedded didn't have the Arial font installed and the password box needs it to display the * . I installed the font and all is well. What a weird issue!

Which part of null do you not understand? 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I would use a different word for this[^]

I would have hoped that the .Net FW would be a little bit more clever than to crash in a case like this

Why? What should it do other than bring the problem to your attention and let you fix it once and for all? Sweep it under the rug? Use another font that may or may not work as a substitute?

A hard crash is hardly informative. No information was given as to why it crashed.

Ah, ok. Then someone just did not expect that the font could ever be missing. Not a big deal, that can happen to anybody. You probably know that kind of function where at least half of the code is concerned with preventing all kinds of errors and still some slip through because you did not expect that particular thing to ever happen.

Do you know if it will be a boy or a girl?

Of course I know.
The answer to your question is "YES".

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Not at all. You should exception wrap calls like this.
|
|
|

It crashes even when wrapped!

What is the code, .Net?
Why run .Net code on embedded anyway, its a minimal install, minimal foot print OS, use C or C++ and catch them the normal way.

There are a class of exceptions that can't be caught in managed code. This was likely one of those.
