Cedega 4.3.2 Problem

[Acoshi]

When I install, I cannot see the words. It shows up as boxes, I was wondering how can I get rid of the boxes and have the program show actual text.

screenshot?

What distro? and how did are you trying to install it?

 

[Acoshi]

I am using Fedora Core 3.

Well how are you trying to install it?

What about a screenshot? It's kind of hard to understand what you are saying without a picture and no information 😛

I think i know what he means. I experience the same problems, but since b/c the games i play i love I have where everything is memorized

What he is saying though is that in dialogue boxes that say "YEs" or "No" or display the path where we install files...no TEXT is listed. RAther than see a two confirmation boxes that say "yes and no" you see two boxes without the words.

Obviously its a font issue, but it is one i never bothered to find out how to solve so I didn't care since for what I play i can manage without it. But if there is a fix for it I would be interested

Well it's nice someone knows what the problem! 😛

It's hard to troubleshoot peoples problems if there is no information provided.

tell me what output to print and i'll gladly do it 😉

edit:

doing a bit of googling, seems i forgot to edit my fonts (didn't fint a site that said to do that explicitly, but it only made sense 😉 )

Okay try this:

Btw: I'm using Ubutun 5.04 so i'm not sure if the commands are different...hopefully a guru can help 😀

Open command line(terminal)

cd ~
cd .transgaming
gedit config

now scroll down to the "fonts" section

you will see

;"FreeType" = "N"

repace that with

;"FreeType" = "Y"

done...

one more thing~ if you scroll up you'll notice a qusetion "how much vram do you have?" and by default it seems to have 32...i changed mine to 128, and i hope that was something that makes sense 😉

and one more thing~ I use gedit which is obviously for gnome....you don't necessarily need to use that~ use vim if you want..its just a text editor...
