I think that it's only need to write dependencies on dejavu fonts for warzone2100 packages for Linux (on every distro).
Packing fonts into the game installer is perfect for Windows, not for GNU/Linux I think...

It should not be an issue. On OS X we use Lucidia Grande as the default font. Since this is a system font (the same one used by default for OS X) this never becomes a problem. It is likely that your GPU is too old to correctly support GLC.

What graphics hardware do you got with that?

I know it works on a mac, I have seen it, and I think he has a ATI gfx card in his machine.
Which version of the game are you using anyway?

Which onboard video card you have?
Why can't you update the drivers? Usually, windows update is the *last* place to look, and you need to go to the maker of the onboard gfx 'card' to get better drivers.

Ouch!

I really hope they get better drivers, they are pretty much the bottom of the barrel, even worse than intel. :(

Since it seems to be a problem with numerous drivers anyway, would it be possible to pre-render the text onto a the background texture with the alpha blending? The current effect just stretches the background rectangle and then renders the text over it. Maybe it's a z-fighting issue.

You do realize that you are replying to a 9 year old thread? This is generally considered a bad thing to do.
