Try this and let us know if it fixes the problem:
1. Uninstall the game completely.
2. Install from the CD.
3. Copy all of the fonts out of the fonts directory to a separate
location.
4. Install the latest patch.
5. Copy the original fonts into the fonts directory overy the ones that
are there.

This should fix your problem!

So it is confirmed that the problem is related to the fonts I made.
I'll give it a second try and compile the fonts again asap.
Then I'll send them to you, Baron Grazic so you can test if the problem is fixed.

Oh Baron if you can post or send me by email those original fonts you'll save me the trouble of having to reaintall the game and all that.
It would help me do it faster.
I really hope I can solve this problem, and send them to Aaron to include in next patch I'd hate to have the international chars removed because of this incompatibility with some systems problem.

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, Andr�s

Hi Andr�s.

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 ��
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.
