Thanks for the advice. Unfortuantly, I just double checked to make sure that I did that and I'm still having the problem. These are the instructions I'm following which I took directly from
http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/DFGtutorial.php which is also where I down loaded the set from. I've tried it like five times and it still comes out the same. Am I just using the wrong instructions
1.Obviously, you need both the latest DFG download and the version of DF you want to play. Make sure it's the same version as the one listed next to the DFG download link! (or newer). The DF 40d download from the bay12 website is NOT the right one, chceck the forums and look for a thread on 40d+ in DF General Discussion.
2.Delete DF/raw (just in case) and replace it with DFG/raw.
3.Replace DF/data/art with DFG/data/art
4.Copy embark_profiles.txt from DFG/data/init to DF/data/init.
5.Open DF/data/art/ and remember the name of the tileset you like most.
6.Open DF/data/init.txt and edit the following part:
[GRAPHICS:YES]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_WINDOWEDY:400] <-you can choose a different resolution here
[GRAPHICS_FONT:yourtileset.png] <-Enter the name of the tileset of your choice here
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENX:1280]
[GRAPHICS_FULLSCREENY:1024] <-you can choose a different resolution here
[GRAPHICS_FULLFONT:yourtileset.png] <-Enter the name of the tileset of your choice here
[GRAPHICS_BLACK_SPACE:YES]
7.Replace the colour settings (in colors.txt) from DF with the ones in DFG/data/colors.txt
