Windows Civ 4 font error....help please.

My girlfriend is Chinese and she installed a bunch of fonts that made some of my games go buggy. In HL2 all my weapon icons became letters. I had to find a font called Half-life in the fonts folder and delete it....then it went back to normal.

For Civ 4 I'm getting these error msgs:





After I get these errors the game will still play but certain text will appear...odd...on the menu and ingame as well.



Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Do you have the Chineese version of the game or the english? Maybe if you set your language to english then it may work? Or maybe because your OS install is in Mandarin (assuming here) that the file system wording is somehow different to what it normally recognised by the game?

 

Nope, the OS is in English. My girlfriend just added in a $#it load of fonts into Window's control panel. I'm guessing I need to remove a conflicting font. But I need one of you geeks (meant in a nice way) to decipher the error code and tell me which one. Sorry for not being more clear the first time.

 

Try system restore to see if it clears things up.

 

Havent got a clue. It's an XML error probably to do with the game engine itself. Remove the fonts and see what happens or try the Civ 4 support.
