Text output problems on Wrtls Win Development

Post by Ricochet »

Text appears broken and random letters dont show up, it was fine yesterday.

Shot on the latest build as of March 10th.

Any thoughts?

What's FONT_TYPE set to? It should be at three.
There's no place like ::1

Interesting :) It happened suddenly without you changing version (which build are you using?) or configuration?

/me blames it on yet another buggy display list implementation.

It also may be FTGL; notice that all `l` are missing.

Anyway, to check on the display list thing, the next time this happens, could you go to the System Setup -> Display Settings -> Performance Tweaks menu and turn Display Lists to "off"?
