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.

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/forums/faq.php?faq=miscellaneous#faq_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!
