Text selection or edit causes program crash

Hello,I've been using Draftsight for a couple of years and for the most part been happy with it.  However, lately when I open drawings that use 'new times roman' text font it causes lots of problems for me.  If I select many text blocks the program becomes unresponsive for several minutes or crashes.  If I edit a text block note and add very much text it will crash the program.  If I copy and past the text blocks and drawings it will cause the same problems.  I have Mac OS  version 10.7.5 with 8 GB memory.  I'm using Draftsight version V1R4.  Any suggestions?
