No fonts for world editor in Windows XP

#1 @Chris: Does the Font Cache directory exist (common/data/fonts? Have you tried deleting the fonts in the font cache? Are you using OpenGL on 1.8? (That's a No-no, you need to switch to Direct3D mode).

#2 Its Direct3D and there is data in common/data/fonts.

#3 Please post your console.log

#4 I had that problem too... don't know what the issue is, but I replaced all the fonts shipped with TGEA 1.8 with my fonts from TGEA 1.7.1 and that resolved the problem.

#5 Ryan, that almost totally fixed the problem. I think it is still trying to use one bogus font.

Thanks for the tip! I hope someone else finds this post when they have font problems on XP

#6 @Chris: If you delete the fonts in the font cache, they will be recreated.

#7 Yes, and then they won't work. I've tried that several times.


However there seems to be other problems on XP - when we are editing the mission sometimes when we apply texture to a terrain bit with the terrain brushes it all goes black and we have to redraw it, we are installing Vista on said machine.

#8 Ok this problem happens on Vista also, the machine has a GeForce 59XX Ultra and we have 4 of these cards and they all produce the same results. Is it possible that its a bug with the 59XX series of geforce?
