Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the text with the windows version (1.6.2). It may just be an error on my part, but I thought I'd mention it.
Under the multiplayer, add-ons, and language menus and with the text that appears during campaigns (not the intro text though), all that appears are boxes. Attached screenshot should be more clear than my writing...

Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
*split from 1.6.2 release thread and moved here*
1) Are you using Vista or XP (or other?)
2) Did you do a clean install, or did you install over another version?
3) Have you checksummed your download/tried to install again fresh?
4) Did you install anything from the add-on server, or was this a problem 'out of the box'?
I was unable to duplicate this using Vista with my 1.6.2 installation. Anyone else get this?

Actually, I think this might be related to http://gna.org/bugs/index.php?13399
Do you have DejaVuSans.ttf in the fonts folder?

Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
I have exactly the same text bug problem, running Wesnoth on a Vista laptop. I first installed 1.6.2 on top of 1.6.1, then uninstalled it, removed both the program and the data folders, still the same issue.
On top of that, since 1.6 the performance has decreased dramatically -- reloading a saved game for example takes at least 2 minutes. And it is worse with 1.6.2. than with 1.6
I have 2 GB ram, so this should'nt be the issue.
To answer ancestral, I DO have Deja vu Sans font installed.
Should I remove it -- or another hint?

Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
You could indeed try to remove the file. Contrarily to 1.6.1, the main difference is that Wesnoth actually uses that file instead of the system font.
You could also try to change the family_order setting in the data/hardwired/fonts.cfg file. Instead of "DejaVu Sans,WenQuanYi Zen Hei", put some random noise there, so that Wesnoth falls back to the system font.

Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
I don't understand what you mean by 'add some random noise'. So I just permuted the fonts in the family_order setting:
The result is that some texts now look weird, and the initial issue remains the same.order=_ "wqy-zenhei.ttc,DejaVuSans.ttf"
family_order=_ "WenQuanYi Zen Hei,DejaVu Sans"
Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
Note that I was only asking to change family_order, not order (no need to break something that was still working). By random noise, I meant something likedederocks wrote:I don't understand what you mean by 'add some random noise'. So I just permuted the fonts in the family_order setting:
Code: Select all
order=_ "DejaVuSans.ttf,wqy-zenhei.ttc"
family_order="my wesnoth is broken"

Works!
Thanks for your help.

Re: Wesnoth 1.6.2 text bug
Hey there - I am having the same problem on Suse 11.1 using 1.6a4... Initially the main menu didn't have text, but that was solved by deleting the DejaVuSans.ttf file. I am now stuck trying to fix the dialog text on the campaigns. I have tried editing the fonts.cfg file in both the hardwired and core directories as suggested above, but no luck. Any other ideas?
