Post by R.E.LEE »

Hi after waiting 3 weeks for my game to arrive now i cant play it.i ihave 512rams and 1800 speed windows xp,i installed game and patch,i tried to install that net thing but my pc said it was incompatable with a previosly installed version of nt.so the game and patch is all installed now what when i hit play it says areial font error or something like that,i think that if that NT thing would of installed it may have worked so how do i install it if my pc wont let it install?COME ON GUYS IVE BEEN DYING TO PLAY FOR 3 WEEKS SOMEONE HELP PLZ.[&:] I must say that if your computer meets all requirments and you pay for the game it sure sucks that you cant just instal and play,thankfully JTCS arrived at the same time and ill enjoy it while i wait for some help.

Jep i have seen this issue a few times earlier. Sorry you are having problems. Are you from France by any chance?
 
Other players solved it by reinstalling the fonts from the XP installation CD.
 
Another option might be to download the relevant Arial installer from here:

Let me know how it goes!

I recommend installing from Windows install CD.
 
But the relevant installer on that optional page i gave is the link named Arial.exe.

No problem.
 
Its because when i released the game i assumed everybody would have these basic fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Arial Black) installed. However as you and a few others prove i was mistaken there. There seems to be a small minority group of Windows users who doesnt. Untill now actually only from France. Sorry for the inconvenience.
