This question seems related to .Net, but as I am using Telerik UI WPF noXaml 2021 R2 assemblies. I have doubt that Telerik controls might causing this error.
I have published .Net 5 SCD x-86 wpf application on client machine which has win 7 OS. As client machines are outdated, therefore we provided them self contained deployment.
Our application is importing Telerik UI for WPF noXaml 2021 R2 assemblies, and using Font Glyph. FontResources.xaml is imported at application startup. Other than that application is using default fonts.
As following errors shows, application is unable to create font (may be font not found/ corrupted fonts), and I guess Telerik Font Glyph is using fonts which is not available in older OS like Win 7.
