Text Display Errors in Windows

Post by PoLyGLoT » Mon Sep 10, 2012 8:41 pm

Hi All,

My standalone application works fine on most Windows-based computers (e.g., XP, vista, windows 7, etc.). On a handful of computers, one of my programs fails to display text properly. On the start screen, I have a begin button. The button displays correctly (e.g., correct size, correct position, etc.) but no text is displayed on the button. On the next screen, no text is displayed within the field, and the "next" button has no text. Occasionally, in faint areas, I can see cut-off text (as if the text has been horribly misplaced and only a small section is viewable). I tried resetting all the fonts to "Times New Roman" by clicking on the "property inspector" for each card (text formatting --> times new roman), but this did not resolve the issue.

Puzzled. Any ideas?

P.S. the computer has a slightly old monitor (CRT) and is running windows XP with max resolution (1024 x 768 i think).

Thanks,
