After not using Sigil for some months I find that it either doesn’t run at all or silently crashes on startup now. Watching Task Manager while running it as Administrator, its process briefly appears then disappears almost immediately. I know I’ve had a problem similar to this before with Sigil, but I’ve not been able to get it working this time.

I’ve tried renaming sigil.ini (& all the .inis), I’ve tried reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling, reinstalling running as Admin, stepping back to 0.7.3 & 0.7.2 - pretty much everything I can think of with no luck.

I’m certain it used to run. Much as I like Calibre (and the new editor looks very solid) the lack of embedded font display is a problem for me.

I realise development is at a standstill, but any suggestions would be welcome.
