[Libgdi+][System.Drawings]Upgrade to Net 8 cause a BUG using PrivateFontCollection

[dcaponetti]

I upgraded my solution to Net 8, upgrading from System.Drawings 6.0 to 8.0.

The libgdiplus i use on a Kubernetees cluster is:
libgdiplus/now 6.1+dfsg-1+b1 amd64 [installed,local]
interface library for System.Drawing of Mono

Downloaded from org.debian.org

When using PrivateFontCollection i get this Exception:

> ===> 25-01-2024 09:10:29 [Error] [] [f8e90bfa-258b-48be-9d47-c8e9247723e6] Unhandled Exception: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.

>    at System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection..ctor()

I revert the System.Drawings to 6.0 and it worked again.

Will you upgrade libgdi+ to framework 8?
And if so, when will it be available for Debian?

Thank,
Daniel.

You should post to https://github.com/mono/libgdiplus/issues and also refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/core-libraries/6.0/system-drawing-common-windows-only#reason-for-change

In short, there isn't likely to be some changes as you wished. You should check out the alternatives.
