Hi all,

I've downloaded the demo and played around with it a bit, and this looks to be a really great program. However, one thing bothers me, and that is that the text is pretty much unreadable. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me:

I've tried to find some settings to adjust the preferences in some way, but I can't find anything. For the record, my machine runs in 1280x800 mode.

Could anyone tell the newbie how I could make the text legible? :)

This has happened to a few people before, refer to these threads for suggestions on how to possibly solve it:

Thanks for the links joeru. :)

Sadly that doesn't seem to help my problem at all, quite the contrary. It seems to be a video card issue, and the poster of the first thread went and bought a new card, not a possibility for my laptop. The poster of the second thread said

I sent my screen shot in several days ago and haven't heard anything back? Any progress?
in March 2006, and has not received any reply to that (at least not in public).

I do have the latest (XP-compatible) DirectX installed, and the latest (stable) video drivers for my card (SiS 760). No other DirectX dependent programs give me any problems, and the DirectX test suites go through just fine.

As SIS seems to be the issue, all I can suggest is to drop a line to [email protected] to see if any progress has been made.
