Action text gobbldey-gook

[Asgardian1]

I've installed xmage on 2 different windows machines and I have had the same result - all action text (do you wish to mulligan, etc...) shows up as random characters as seen in the screenshot below. One system is a windows 8.1 machine and the other is a Win7 machine - but I get the same issues on both. I did a test on a linux machine and did not have this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I've seen users complain about this problem already two or three times. Never found out the reason.
Any special installations two your windows (like any additional languages?).
One assumption was that there is a problem with font installation, but it never was confirmed.
Here are links to the threads from the forum.

I do have my language set to Canadian English - will try to restore to US English and see what happens.

So changing my language settings to US English has not solved the problem. Any other thoughts?

I checked again the font handling of this area. The font family "times" was used, what's at least no logical Java font. So maybe this could be a possible cause.
I changed it now (2198a01) to a logical Java font (Dialog). So please test with the next update (2015-03-14v3) that will be released tonight or tomorrow if this helps with your problem.

Have not forgotten about this. Could not connect to the server last night as it did not recognize the new xmage version and today it downloaded a new java version and I cannot properly connect to any network at all. Will try again tomorrow and let you know.

Just logged into the server and watched a game. The text is now in English. Thank you!
