The Conquerors/No Text

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.ageofkings (More info?)

I cannot play The Conquerors Expansion as when the game
starts, no text is displayed (including the start up
menu). A few months back, I had no text trouble
whatsoever, but after not playing the game for a while,
and then coming back to it... no text. My Age of Empires
II- The Age of Kings game still works perfectly, but The
Conquerors does not. I have tried reinstalling several
times to no avail. I am running Windows XP. Also, I
installed The Age of Mythology not too long ago (could
that have anything to do with it?). I am getting nowhere
with Microsoft's Support... the phone number on their
website is out of service and to go through their email
support, they want the product I.D. number, which, of
course, can not be read, as it appears as text on the
menu. Can anyone help?

Hi Spock,

Installing XML might return all that missing text.
Download and install the complete MS XML Service Pack 2:

Spock,
I am having the same problem, did you ever resolve it? Anyone else know how to fix it?

I am also having this problem, and when I enter a game the wood, stone and gold amounts are not shown. Also when you enter the library descriptions of the civilizations there are no text in the explanations of them on the lower left side of the screen. Could definitely use some help with this,

Thanx,

Kirk Thompson.

There are 2 solutions:

1. Your Computer has no font "Lucida BlackLetter". So, You can ferret out this font on Internet and paste it into Font Folder in your machine.

2. Download Pebble32 Unicode Editor. Backup language.dll in AOEII directory. Open language.dll with Pebble32. Double-Click to StringTable in the Left box and then, the Right box will display many lines numbered 98.... to... 209 ... and more. From line 98 to 209, replace anything named "Lucida Blackletter" by available name that existing in your Fonts Folder, ex: Times New Roman. Save dll file and play game.
