So updated to 34.05, and suddenly the text is both all over the place and missing, sometimes vital information (yes, I would like to know if those crafts are on repeat or not without rechecking every time).

I've seen a few oblique references to it, but;

1 - is it a bug?
2 - is it limited to 34.05?
3 - is there a way to fix it? [it's there whether on truetype or not...]

I'm experiencing this same issue... I haven't found a solution.

Same.

Portions of the text are blacked out and flicker when highlighted.

Are you using a tileset? Phoebus's set has this issue - on the Modding forum he's working on sorting it.

AFAIK this is not a tileset bug, but an engine bug. Phoebus won't fix it, because Toady will have to.

Has an example where Phoebus recognizes the cause.

Its a known bug, if you revert to no tileset that should fix it until toady fixes the engine. The problem isn't with your texture pack though, mayday and many of the other major tilesets are suffering from this as well.

Press F12 to turn off Truetype mode.

Also, resizing your DF window (even taking it out of fullscreen and putting it right back) will temporarily fix it.

Zooming in and out with the mousewheel also helps (for a while - might be seconds or hours).

The bug was introduced by Baughn, probably, who modified the SDL engine to work "better" in adventurer mode. Which it doesnŽt, youŽll get missing text there, too. Basically (as I understand it) the engine marks areas to be flushed where it shouldnŽt do that. Resulting in flickering black spots.

Press F12 to turn off Truetype mode.

Doesn't work - text errors in both truetype and the other type...
