First of all, this might be out of place but for some reason I can't post in the bugs thread.

I'm using Lazy Newb Pack (Phoebus tileset) in a windowed mode, and certain characters seem to randomly disappear from the game. I post here as it might be connected to the mods I use. It's actually a pretty big problem as I can't see what certain dwarves are doing. It applies to all the menues across the board.

Some examples:





Any idea what's going on?

Your problem is caused by truetype fonts being enabled.

Hit F-12 to turn off truetype.

Okay, that changes the font and removes the glitch, but this new font is large and some letters are coloured and is very hard to read, how do I go about changing the font?

Cheers!

It's a known true type bug:

You can alleviate the issue temporarily by scrolling in and out with the mousewheel.

Pressing F12 switches between TrueType and using the letters, numbers and punctuation on the tileset.
If you want to change the TrueTypefont, save the TTF font you want as font.ttf and drop it into data/art
It will overwrite whatever font you currently have.
If you want to change the tileset font, you'll have to edit the tileset with a image editing program, such as gimp or photoshop.

Just doublepress F11. That fixes it for a while, if it gets too bad, double press F11 again. Thats what I do.

Changing the font without TrueType doesnt work, it actually uses tiles from the tileset instead of characters then.

Thank you both! It works for me!
