OMG it's VB6 if I'm not mistaken.

The font choices would be nice as a dropdown, it shouldn't be too hard to populate a list from the contents of a folder.

This hasn't been updated in years. And yet, it continues to be a part of the Lazy Newb Pack.

Some questions:

* Is it true that this was written in Visual Basic?

* Is DFInit compatible with Linux and/or OS-X? Will it run under Wine?

* If there are no plans to update this utility or make a Linux version, have you considered releasing the source code?

Hi, I noticed a small bug in 1.53, dunno how far back it goes.  On initial startup, when DFInit asks for the Dwarf Fortress directory, canceling the open file dialog causes an alert box to pop up: "Can't save or load or do anything useful until DF folder is located."  When you click OK, the open file dialog is displayed again.  If you close the alert box window, DFInit's main window displays, but the program hangs.  It seems like closing the alert box should terminate the program instead.  Just my two cents, good program otherwise!

I can confirm this bug. Seems very minor, though.
And, yes, it's a nice little program.
