Got struck when talking to some NPC

[Sainya]

I've been getting this with the Behest NPC and I have to use task manager to exit FFXIV as well. This really needs to be fixed, I can't do Behests, or ANY NPCs at all, this includes storyline quests as well.

I HAVE FOUND A FIX!

So, did any of you switch your font to one you like in game? A windows one instead of the default FFXIV one? Well, I had, and I switched it back, and now no more problems! I didn't have problems before the most recent patch, either, but this is a good temp fix, right?

This thread was moved from In-Game Bugs to Technical Issues since the game is freezing and becoming non-responsive.

Thank you thank you thank you This has fixed the problem for me.

So it tries to load dialogue in the pop-up dialogue box, and if you're not using the standard FFXIV font, it causes the interface to freeze and displays a blank box.

Let us know when you've fixed it S-E so we can change back to our funky fonts!

Talking to Willeda in the Lancers Guild with no quests open but all Lancer quests done I got stuck. I couldn't even log out just chat as listed above.

I also experienced a problem with Willeda last night. After clicking on her all input except camera control became unresponsive; all keyboard and game-pad commands did nothing. I didn't even get the NPC dialog window. It seemed the game continued to function as normal though as the NPCs I could see were still shuffling their feet and such.
Had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to force the game to give me the Direct-X error and crash out.

I am using the stock FFXIV font. Win7 x64 | AMD Athlon X4 3.1 | 4gig DDR3 | ATi 5770

The same issue happened to me during my rank 30 Archer quest, I made a thread about it here thinking it was an isolated incident, but I suppose it's much more widespread.
