I've searched for quite some time for others with the same problem but have only found similar issues. I'm problem is this: when I run Graal V4 I do not see any text at all (such as on the login screen, the menu, or in the game as characters names, or what they say). I have learned that I can can uncheck the "Use Bitmap Fonts" option, which does work and displays the text, however, if I do anything else, such as click a button or move from one level to another, my game will freeze and I will have to end the program. When I try to lauch Graal again, nothing will come up and I will once more have to ctlr-alt-del. The only way I found to change it back to no text instead of freezing is to revert my harddrive to a point before I made this change. But this puts me back in the same position, either have no text at all, or have the game freeze.

I have tried changing from 32 to 16bit, which allowed me to see the login buttons (the door and base), but has done nothing for the text. I have also tried to change the font, but to no effect.

My computer is old (Gateway - 650 mhz) with windows 98 SE.
I have an Nvidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 graphics card with the latest drivers.
My ram is 160mb and I have the latest version of directX.

Once more, very sorry if I have missed this exact issue before, I have truly looked everywhere and have found no suitable solutions; this is my final option.
