Patch 1.49 Font Problem

[Andrés]

Never mind. I already recovered the original fonts from the CD.
Ok I re-made one of the fonts. Please test if it works on your system.
Instructions: back up the original font, replace with this one, restart your computer and run seiv.
If it runs ok then I’ll do the same in the other fonts. If it doesn't restore the backup and I'll have to self-destruct the fonts.

Thanks, Andrés

Hi Andrés.

Downloaded the font and all appeared aok.
I'll give the other fonts a try when ever you are ready.

Is there any other Australian players out there that have tried the patch?

I am in Australia and was running Win2k with 1.49 patch, it worked fine.

I am now running 1.49 patch with XP pro, it works fine.

Ok I'll get the other fonts remade asap.

To test if it is really working try naming a ship something like Üçöáîñ
You should not see anything with the old small fonts, but see the name in the title fonts.

I don't think the bug is related with your regional options, but with some vague windows manage.

Speaking of fonts, Andres, the e in your name was appearing incorrectly for me earlier when I viewed this thread - but now it's fine! I have no idea what went on...

Ok here you have a new set of fonts to test.
I’m also including a the original, and the ones in v1.49 so you can test if the bug appears again. (I wouldn’t be surprise if the work ok now. Stranger things have happened)
And I made a list of names using symbols to test if they’re being displayed ok.

I also found that making a true type font based in a .FON font wasn’t as hard as I thought. Expect to see an SE4 button TTF soon.

No Kwok, I don't think it was the forum, it was most likely your system, probably you restarted it or unloaded (or loaded?) some freeing some memory and causing the fonts to be reloaded.
