Title: MASM32 and tools not showing text in buttons
Post by: gman on March 28, 2005, 02:16:50 PM
When I installed MASM32 there was no text in the install window, and the buttons had no text as well. By trying different button clicks I was able to get the install to run however now most of the windows under all the masm32 tools show no text. I have attached an image to show what this looks like. This looks like a great set of tools, so any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Tell us what OS version and language your computer has installed on it. The dialog box has the standard Microsoft San Serif. This is the line of code from the dialog box RC file.


FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 700, 0 /*FALSE*/


Its possible if you are not running sone very strange setup that something is damaged in your OS version or the font is damaged or not available.

Do you have any seting on your machine to turn off fonts that are not true type fonts ? The install which is a seperate EXE file uses the standard Dialog font as shown ant it is available of every Windows version from Win95 upwards. These apps run correctly on a very large number of computers without problems so it must be a peculiarity of the machine you are running. Check in your fonts folder for Microsoft Sans Serif to see if its there and working properly.

Hi GMan, in your display properties --> appearance settings, is there some duplicate colors? Maybe the font used is the same color as the window background.
