! Too late for \patterns.

[ptc-1908075]

OK, here's one for y'all:

Before I contact technical support, has anyone seen this formatting error message?

Runtime error formatting document: main:Error=[A11460] Formatter error on page -1.
! Too late for \patterns. This is an internal error and is probably not recoverable.

The document doesn't preview, and no cache files are created. FWIW: \patterns would appear to be TeX.

This started happening yesterday. I tried the document and FOSI from the previous day, which had formatted without problem, and I get the same error with them. Which suggests the problem is not in the docs or FOSIs. 😞

I am running 6.0 F000.

Thanks for any insight! (BTW: How is the font size in this email?)

Font size looks good!

As far as your problem is concerned - like they say on "The IT Crowd"; "Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?".

Seems like something is corrupted. Perhaps you need a reinstallation of Arbortext Editor/Print Composer/PE?

I suspect reinstallation is what is needed. I'm indulging in some wishful thinking, hoping someone will say: "All you gotta do is ..."

Anyway, I found out about the font size 🙂

It’s probably too late for this answer, no pun intended. The only thing I can find out about TeX patterns is that it has something to do with hyphenation. Did you incorporate some new hyphenation rule(s) in your FOSI?

[ptc-1908075]

Nope. And since there's no .tex file in the cache because there is no cache, there is no info.

I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and reinstall.
