I have finally managed to find a solution to this rare but annoying problem that prevents playing FOT on some machines. got the "C:\dev\phoenix\font\font_manager.cpp(41) **Fatal Error** failed creation of font: font_normal" error message followed by a runtime error even after applying all the patches and everything, with all install sizes and different driver combinations. To the point now.
The error is caused by a corrupted resource file gui_0.bos in the core directory under the main directory. I found this out when trying to get the game working I tried the FOT booster program that does something to the resource files speeding up the game. That program could'n process the gui_0.bos file so it had to be corrupted I concluded. So I used Direct Connect(a file sharing utility much like Napster or Kazaa or... you know) to get the resource file from a user who had shared his whole fallout tactics installation directory. I actually noticed that most of the resource files, half of the movies files and all the music files where corrupted also. So I had to download some 500 MegaBytes of those files to get the game working.
So it seems that some game cd:s out there are really fucking SERIOUSLY corrupted.
If you can download several hundred megabytes from the internet this IS a working solution for you.
