THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED

Remember kids, if your screen is all black, check that you are referencing a font that actually exists in your raw/graphics!

Got a spot of difficulty in the new version - that being the screen is totally black. However, the game is still running back there - I can do up-enter to get to the quit option on the title screen and it correctly exits the game. Partial print yes or no doesn't seem to fix it, nor futzing around with fps and gfps - what else should I play with to try to investigate this?

Computer is a P4 1.6Ghz single core dell lappy with a GeForce4 440 Go, running XP. All previous versions of DF have run on this computer.

Did you try to transfer settings (including a custom character set) from a previous version?  I had that problem because after copying all my customized init.txt settings, my raw/graphics and raw/objects folders, and so on, I forgot to copy the data from my data/art folder.  Thus, it was trying to use a non-existent bitmap to render stuff.  I believe others have had similar problems that were the result of not correctly setting some line in init.txt.  Seems to happen often with version changes, which makes me immediately think of the transfer of settings.

Checking now, but I'm sure you're probably correct... doh!

Yup. Damn, sorry for taking up room in this forum section.
