    Fantasy Grounds Required Fonts

    What fonts does Fantasy Grounds require to be installed on a Windows platform installation?

    I've attached a screenshot of my problem. It displays general text fine, but headings just end up as solid blocks.

    Thanks.

    I dont think its missing fonts.
    It is I think a graphical glitch - first try a reboot, second try enabling or disabling compatibility mode in options.
    ohhh... it looks like you are on WinXP and Im not sure this is supported anymore...
    I know at one point XP support was going to be dropped but I cannot recall if it happened or not.
    On XP if the above didnt work - reinstall Direct X.

    Correct, XP is no longer listed on System Requirements, https://www.fantasygrounds.com/features/systemreqs.xcp

    Yeah, try what damned says.

    It's a long standing potential issue: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...aq_black_boxes

    It did used to work on this laptop so it's unlikely to be the display drivers. I'll try some comparability modes.

    It would be nice to have a legacy stand alone installer of the last version that did work with XP. It's always disappointing to suddenly receive an "upgrade" that disables what once worked.

    Still worth a try though!
