Serious Font Problem

Hi!

I just installed bzflag 2.0.6 (yay!). So I started it up as usall, and everything looked the same... except the font was completely unreadable. It was just a big jumble of dots! So does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks,
Martin

I think I've read of the problem before, can't remember how they fixed it.

OT: Woah double topics :\ This is getting crazy....

hm...sounds like a problem I have with release 2.0.6 on Win2k :o)

if you set the following line into your BZFlag config file and the font is readable (even if it looks a little ugly)...then you should update some library files on your system
line for the config file:
set useBitmapFontRenderer 1
