[Dxbase] problem with dxb2005, dx-atlas and fonts

Wed Sep 22 20:33:42 EDT 2004

Tim,
That's a new one on us too. We use the two programs without trouble. I 
would suspect a video driver problem also but it is odd that an ini file 
would get clobbered unless the video info being returned by the video card 
is somehow trashed and the trash is what is getting written into the ini 
file. Perhaps you could find a different font that would be suitable and 
also work with both apps. Or perhaps there is a new driver around. Check 
the video card maker's web site.
Regards,
Courtney
