I've digitized an applique font but after creating the new font and adding the first letter successfully, I get an exception error and the program crashes when I try to add any additional letters.
I have 2 versions of these letters. One is just a basic applique and the other is a modified version with "baseball stitching" added.
Crash occurs in both 4.1 and 4.2. I would prefer to make this font in a version that will also let me use it in Hatch. Attaching an EMB with letters from each version.
Any ideas what's causing this and what I need to do to fix it?
I've tried unchecking "remove functions" and leaving it checked and I get the same result.

I used "As Digitized." I've tried restarting the computer and deleting the backups. I just made another font the other day but this is the first applique font I've tried.
I tried a different applique font in 4.5. Same problem but it appears to have corrupted my file and now when I try to open it, I get an "unrecoverable error" and the program shuts down.
Also - 4.5 is not updating recovery files. I've had multiple crashes today working on this file and then when I let 4.5 open the recovery files, they are all very very early versions of the design.
I do have an earlier version of this file and can re-work but I've never had a file get corrupted like this before.
The first time I relaunched the software, I chose to open backups and got the same message. So the next time, I tried opening the original from the Design Library got the message you saw in the screenshot.
The file had previously been opened to make the font and crashed when adding the second character as before.
I was able to test the one letter that got added. I think this is too complex to do as an ESA font. I chose "as digitized" but the branched pieces were unbranched and satin was weird.
