font error

Maybe you could try turning off advanced text.

In XP, right click on the shortcut icon for the game. Click properties. Click the "Compatibility" tab. Then check "Turn off advanced text services for this program." at the bottom.

This may not solve your problem but it's worth a shot.

Check your gui_0.bos, it's most likely corrupted, it should be 13,509kb.

i got that problem when i accidentally deleted the gui_bos all you have to do is reinstall and problem solved.

I'm getting the same issues and I'm not sure where gui_bos is supposed to be. I really don't want to re-install because just installing once took forEVER (disc 2 is a bitch), probably because the installation engine wasn't written with XP in mind. So...wher should gui_bos be?

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

The file is on CD2 in install/core, presumably that's what you're asking?

Other wise all .bos files should be installed into your fallout tactics/core folder. If they haven't then sounds like your problem right there.

The FOT problem that had never been solved(please help!)

I have a problem with my FOT, I have searched everywhere, and a lot of people had the same problem, but a solution was never found. I post this because maybe someone has finally found the answer

anyways, every time I try to enter FOT it says:
"c:\dev\phoenix\font\font_manager.cpp(41):**fatal error**:failed creation of font: f"

and then when I press ok it says:"abnormal program termination"

I have Windows XP. and all the system requirements.

Gee never been solved? Try searching harder in future.

alright the problem is the gui_0.bos however, there is now another probelm. I reinstalled the game and it still doesn't work(same problem). I opened CD 2 and tryed to copy gui_0.bos, but it wont let me saying that it is an invalid MS-DOS function(the other files I was able to copy, not that I needed them). what do I do now?

Then that file sounds corrupted, does it match the file size posted above? You can try using winrar to repair it otherwise you'll need another copy.
