Toady is retroactively editing his comments on you!

init.phoebus.txt says "As of September 2008, ..." and the original init.txt says "As of September 2010, ..."

The fiendishness of it all!

During a new worldgen, green teddy bears started showing up.  Not sure what they are yet (some farm?), but the total domination of robot bears is nearly complete in some areas.

[FleshForge]

That is a new feature called "sprawl", or developed areas around significant towns, and yeah it seems pretty oppressive.  The longer you let world gen run, the larger those areas will be.

Even at year 2, there were massive dark fortresses, retreats, and cities.

I'm a Chronowizard! Do not invoke my wrath!

Yeah I see what you mean, although it's dramatically more crowded at 1050 - to the point of silliness really.

Any plans to put together an alternate tileset for TrueType mode that liberates the rest of the alphabet symbols for use with additional graphics?

The current TrueType support is not complete, it's the first thing I've checked from the new DF version. Creature description do not still use the TrueType font.
Once the TrueType implementation covers all text in the game, I will free the text characters and replace them with graphics, this will be particularly useful for symbols that hard-coded to use a text tile, like water levels (0-7), X for bins & crosshairs, I for supports, n and v? for hills and valleys on the world map and minimap, etc.

Sounds great. Looking forward to that, when DF gets TrueType fully implemented!

*Updated* 0.31.13v00
Updated to DF 0.31.13
Changed the Rough Gem, Web & Masterpiece tile.
Added the custom tileset Kren to the list of alternate tilesets. (Made by krenshala)

OK, I was expecting the "Changed the Rough Gem, Web & Masterpiece tile." comment, but not the "Added the custom tileset Kren ..." as part of the update! 

I guess I should take that as incentive to fix my walls and make a good barrel graphic.

Any time I try to use run Dwarf Fortress with the pre-install pack I get an error and the program is closed by Data Execution Prevention (even if I haven't done anything to the file).

Do you get the same error when running vanilla DF, or only when using the Phoebus graphics version?  Also, what version of Windows?

[Knigel]

I haven't tried vanilla .13 yet (I'll try now), though .12 with Phoebus worked fine.

I'm using Windows Vista.

What's weird is that when any other version I've had seemed to not be responding I could just wait and it would work eventually, but now my computer is forcing it closed.

EDIT: vanilla .13 works.

I think you're problem might be simply with Phoebus's init settings.
Try editing init.txt and changing
[PRINT_MODE:STANDARD]
to
[PRINT_MODE:2D]
Several other people with windows 7/4bit have run into similiar problems with the "standard" print mode.

Phoebus you might really consider changing the init settings back to "2D" for default! There have been quite a handful of people having this problem

[Knigel]

^Huh, that worked.

I wonder why that wasn't a problem for the last version.
