fonts appear as white blocks

#1 Post by BentFX »

I've got a GiGi issue where the fonts appear as colored blocks.
I'm on WinXP SP2 and everything worked fine earlier. I don't know what may have changed. The gigi tutorial programs have this issue, also I've installed freeorion rc7 using the win xp installer and it does the same thing.
I've just rebuilt GiGi rev 629(current) problem persists.
I've strip down my path so I know the system isn't finding a different dll somewhere, same issue.

Any ideas?

No, the issue I was having didn't happen after I clicked anything. In FO it was immediate, from the opening menu. And it was in all the gigi tutorial apps.

I solved the issue by reinstalling the OS(rolled back to Win2K). My XP install was getting flaky anyhow. After I was already reinstalling I got to thinking about it clearer, aint that always the way. I had enabled asian characters in the locale settings in control panel, might have had some part in the problem.

Anyhow, I'm up and running(stable:)) again.

Win2K is just better, IMHO.

Thanks
