This is not a regression. Tested in //UE5/Release-5.0 CL20979098
Crash occurs after setting Small Font to a Font in the Project Setting then launching in Stand Alone as the Client.
Expected Results:
The game launches and plays like normal.
Actual Results:
The Stand Alone player crashes with an unhandled exception:
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000038
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000038
