Cant start the game, complaints about not finding a font.

[Thetargos]

I had multiple problems trying to launch Glest, one being the OpenGL visual which was solved by substituing in the .ini the default bpp from 32 to 24, now I have a problem with the fonts, it seeked by default the Verdana font, which is not installed, so I changed this to Sans, but it still does not find the font, trying to launch the game results in:

Code: [Select]

Exception: Font not found.

And I'm pretty much stuck there.

Try using some font you have for sure, like monospace e.g. or try to install some random font packages otherwise

Thanks for your reply, the problem is that the font was being referenced in "Windows" format, and I had to change that into the old pixmap font Unix format (you know *-font-*-*-*-*-12-*-* or something similar), I just wanted to use a clearer  one, but had to resort to using helvetica or Utopia. I'd like to see support for SDL-ttf in the future so you could use TTF fonts in the game (or better yet, create a font for the game)
