Text replaced by squares

[MartinTeefy]

Hi,

I recently installed KSP version 1.2.2 on windows 7 64 bit for my son, when it launches, we see no text only squares where the text should be on the right hand screen of the screen? I'm assuming it should be text as it's his first time using it.

Also the window frame is set so the user can't maximise the frame, any reason for this?

Does anybody have a suggestion on what is causing this and perhaps a solution?

I'm a VB6/VB.net programmer so pretty clued up on windows dev so will be able to try any suggestions made.

Perhaps install an earlier version of this version is not stable?

Thanks

Martin

Hi @MartinTeefy, it sounds like you have a bad install, I'd try verifying the Steam cache if using Steam, or download a fresh copy from the store or GoG.

Though the □ character is one of the replacement characters, which suggests you are missing a font or your font cache is corrupted, though KSP should have the fonts built in.

Assuming you are using Windows 10 you could try resetting the font cache.
