Just the other night, I was checking which of my trade goods would be best sent where, and discovered that the city and civ names were all in those squares the computer uses when it doesn't recognize the font. Numbers were still readable, and the brackets.
After a couple of tries, I realized it wasn't going to work.
Just this evening, I reinstalled Civ II, twice, but every time I got to building my first city, the title part, "City Name" was all in squares. The city name itself was fine.
Now, I've just recently installed some Unicode fonts on my machine, but I don't think that should be a problem. Unless the Microprose people invented their own fonts, and stored them in the section where something else goes?
I definitely have _not_ removed any fonts.
Any ideas?
I'd hate to have to play the game where I had to go looking manually at every foreign city to see who wanted what.

) , but just installing some shouldn't create any problems.
Unless... You have some sort of foreign language Windows version, or some sort of program that allows you to use them in Windows (aside from text editors).
