Do you just mean the font is serif, whereas Warlords uses sans serif? That's always been so, as far as I know.
Or are you complaining about the clipping at the tops of the letters? Those menus look OK on my system. If the clipping isn't just an artifact in the screenshot, it looks like some sort of problem with your resolution settings. What Graphics Options are you using?
In-game music works fine here. Try going into Options from the Advanced menu - the bottom one in your screen shot - and set the Audio tab to its defaults and relaunch Civ4. See if that fixes anything. Also, make sure your Mac's audio preferences are set to the correct output device. Sorry if this seems like obvious advice, but sometimes it's the simplest things ...
Sounds as if you have some other problem with your installation, then. Maybe the font files are corrupt.Oh wow. Ok, i tried what you suggested with the pref and ini files, and when i started Civ again... it defaults to 1024x768, and i'm getting the exact same font issues at that res.
Sounds goodGood news is, it seems to have fixed the music.
Apologies, two errors in one sentence! I misread both your screenshot (1000 1200) and the Apple spec (1020 for 1200). What can I say! It's late, and I'm prone to 'senior moments' :age:And incidently, the 24" iMac native res is actually 1920x1200.
Like the OP, I am running this on a 24" iMac (1920 x 1200), but the issue is the same at all resolutions, in full screen and in a window.
Brad. It's my impression that the demo has never been updated with the improvements and patches for later Mac hardware that you have made in the full games. As a result, it is not at all representative of the performance or graphics quality of the latest releases. Am I blowing smoke?
Thanks for the follow up. My iMac has the ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I also have an 24" iMac with the Radeon 2600 card and I do not have this font issue on the main screen when playing vanilla. I haven't tried the demo.
Brad
Sorry for asking a stupid question, but you did notice that Cadarn23 was seeing this issue on the demo, not the actual game? Just want to be sure.
Thanks for a great game btw!
