Dell Laptop - Fonts Corrupted?

Tue May 01, 2007 3:02 am

Hi all,

I'm trying to play the game on my Dell Inspiron 1705 Laptop and I have a problem in that the Fonts on the Cities/towns and on the units appear corrupted and unreadable. I've tried running the game in different resolutions, windowed, no windowed but nothing seems to help. I can barely read the unit names or the town names. Anyone else running this on a Laptop that can help out?

thanks,

Kevin

Your computer is not set to 96 DPI it seems, this means that the default fonts used come severely distorted. Either you switch to 96 DPI, or we have to find fonts that will look ok on your computer.

Thanks! Changing the Font DPI did the trick. My Dell shipped with the fonts size set to DPI 120. Changing it to 96 made them readable (small! but readable). Problem solved!

Thanks again,

Kevin :)
