FONT ERROR Error loading font (Error Code: 13)

When I try loading CIV III Play the World or CONQUESTS, I immediately get an error message: "FONT ERROR Error loading font (Error Code: 13)! The Game will now exit."
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

It had been working fine for ages, then this error suddenly started coming up. I don't recall downloading anything or changing anything on my computer that could have had this effect, but I guess there was something.
What I already tried: I uninstalled CIV III, Play the World, and Conquests using add/remove programs and re-installed them all. I tried downloading and installing various patches. I contacted the Atari support, they recomended shutting down all other programs when I try to run it, I tried that, no effect.

Thanks for any help!

Hi - welcome to CFC.

Try the following:

Manually copy font
You may need to copy a font file into the Font directory

1. Double-click on My Computer. If you don't see My Computer, click Start then My Computer.
2. Click on C:\
3. Click on Program Files
4. Click on Civilization 3
5. Click on PTW
6. Locate the file named LSans.ttf
7. Right-click on it
8. Choose Copy
9. Close this window
10. Double-click My Computer
11. Click on C:\
12. Click on Windows
13. Click on Fonts
14. Click on Edit
15. Click on Paste

Click to expand...

Failing that, you may have too many fonts installed. Try uninstalling a few that you never use (you find them under 'fonts' in the control panel).

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
