lacton	Hello, I just installed StarCraft 2, using the PoL install script. Everything seems to have gone smoothly. When I launched the game, everything was OK: graphics, music... except the font. Texts are unreadable and I cannot play the game. Here is a screen capture: http://imageshack.com/a/img542/1776/2pih.png Any idea how I can fix this, or at least find out the source of the issue? PoL Version: 4.2.1 Distribution: Ubuntu 13.04 Raring (x86) Video Driver: Gallium 0.4 Video card: AMD Radeon HD 4870 Thanks! lacton

petch	Hi, Have you tried proprietary drivers? My scripts wiki: https://github.com/petchema/playonlinux/wiki GOGmix: https://www.gog.com/en/mix/playonlinux_install_scripts

lacton	Hi petch, No, I haven't tried them. I found another way to fix this issue: I increased the Video Memory Size, from the provided default (i.e., 256) to a much larger value (e.g., 1024). Now the fonts are correctly rendered.
