FBA: See only progress bar without texts

[Günter Wirth]

Hi,

during FBA build up the system I see only the dialog with the progress
bar without the texts over it. Only sometimes I see a "#".

Do I need any additional fonts or something
else for the FBA?

Regards,
Günter

I added all components in Font directory and had the same problem:
then I added only the font components I needed and the problem went out.
So I think you only have to eliminate some font components.

Hi,

You are right, that solves my problem. Do anybody know which item
of the font section cause the problem?

You added a font for some other language (for instance perhaps Greek fonts)
that populated that language's default VGA font to the key below. Note that
this will affect any apps that use the default system font, though *most* of
windows OS will not be affected, there will be some regressions:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize

You should either remove the font(s) for other languages that are not
needed, or change those default vga fonts under that key to read:
Name: FIXEDFON.FON
Type: REG_SZ
Data: vgafix.fon

Name: FONTS.FON
Type: REG_SZ
Data: vgasys.fon

Name: OEMFONT.FON
Type: REG_SZ
Data: vgaoem.fon
