I noticed that when I play in fullscreen mode, there are single pixel wide columns of shifted and missing pixels scattered about the screen, what can I do to fix them?

Thanks in advance.

the number of tiles is not matching your screen resolution.  you need to go into you init file and fidgit with your settings.

here is the important bit of code (nicely fixed for my own screen)

Full screen info.

[FULLSCREENX:1280]
[FULLSCREENY:800]
[FULLFONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

If this is set to YES, the tiles will not be stretched, but rather the game view will be centralized, surrounded by black space.  Tiles that are too large will always be compressed rather than running off the screen.

[BLACK_SPACE:YES]

Graphics info, most of it as above.  Set GRAPHICS to YES to turn it all on.  This will use the "raw/graphics" folder for tile information.  Currently this is limited to whatever creature graphics you have downloaded.  The game comes with a few pictures to demonstrate.  As of April 2010, the Dwarf Fortress Wiki has graphical tilesets available at http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Tileset_repository.

[GRAPHICS:NO]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:400]
[GRAPHICS_FONT:curses_square_16x16.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:800]
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:curses_square_16x16.bmp]
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]

This is the dimensions in tiles of the display grid.  Minimum x is 80.  Minimum y is 25.  Maximums are 200.  Make sure the window size or full screen resolution matches the grid/tile size if you don't want the display to be squashed or stretched.  The default windowed font has tiles that are 8x12 pixels, for instance, so for a 80x25 grid, you use a 640x300 window, and for a 125x50 grid, you'd use a 1000x600 window.  FULLGRID is used in full screen mode, whether graphics is on or not.

[GRID:80:25]
[FULLGRID:128:66]

I'm completely new at this so I have no clue how to calculate everything.
my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080 and I am using the default ascii.  please help!

The BLACK_SPACE setting should be the one you want to enable - without it, it'll stretch stuff.

tried the black space thing, it didn't work 

I suspect it's more of a squishing problem than a stretching one

I had the exact same problem and I have a 1920x1080 as well 
just copy this

[FULLSCREENX:1920]
[FULLSCREENY:1080]
[FULLFONT:curses_square_16x16.bmp]

[BLACK_SPACE:NO]

[GRID:80:50]
[FULLGRID:105:65]

and replace it with the similar looking stuff in the init
hope this helps

this just made the tiles bigger and made the distortion worse!

please help

By default, the game uses 1280x800 with 80x25 tiles in fullscreen mode.  So tiles are 16x32.

For a 1920x1080, theoretically you should just change GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX and Y to 1920 and 1080 respectively, and FULLGRID to 120:34.  I note that the 34 is not completely accurate, though - it should be 33.75.  This might be your problem if you were doing it this way.  You might also try 192:90 or 96:45 (calculated based on the size of the font tiles in the data).

If neither work please post a screenshot.

I forgot to mention, I modified my init file according to this: http://pkf.olivepeak.com/dwarfcalc.html
Then I noticed the distortion

This common issue will probably be gone for good with the 40d# merge this rext release.
