[defect][source] 'Text Block' Generator source malforms characters when using default 'Arial Black' font

OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
Resolume version: Arena 6.0.3 rev 60620

'Text Block' generator source does not properly display commonly used characters with default font 'Arial Black'.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a new composition.
2) In the Sources browser panel, pick 'Text Block' from Generators.
3) For the 'Text' setting of Text Block replace the text "Resolume" with "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0".
4) Confirm the result in Output Monitor or Preview Monitor.

I only mention numerals in the 'Steps to reproduce' but there are more characters affected, like the 'M'.

Yes this happens sometimes, and corrupts the font cache.
Clearing the cache should get you back to the correct letters.
For this close Resolume,
remove /Users/YourUser/Library/Application Support/Resolume Arena 6/atlas folder
restart Resolume.

We don't know yet how this is triggered, seems to be quite rare and also random, so if you can recreate it after clearing the font cache, we'd love to hear the steps.

Yes, that's the path for windows.
