Weird Issue with Game Font

Howdy folks, I've got an unusual issue, and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this.  So, the other day, my game suddenly started loading without the usual Zap Raygun font, instead presenting with a basic font.  Obviously, this doesn't affect gameplay or anything, but it is weird, and I'm concerned it's pointing toward something more serious.



Anyone have any idea what's going on?  Shortly after this showed up the first time (hours or days later, not sure), my computer froze with no display input, and I had to do a hard reset.  When it booted up again, my video card drivers wouldn't load and I had to reinstall them.  I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm wondering if it is related.

Make a backup of everything ASAP. Sounds like your computer is starting to fail and I'm betting you don't want to lose anything.

You should double-check what's causing these issues in your PC. Perhaps your video card is starting to go out. Maybe it's your motherboard. I don't know, but those issues don't sound like FF problems.

Spyder, that's what I was afraid of.  Thanks, man.  I've got a constant backup with Carbonite, so worst case scenario, all the data will be fine.

In terms of the FF font, I should clarify, this isn't just a function of whatever is going on with my PC, as other mods display properly.  I'm not sure what's going on in the SMA mod that would cause this.  And I even copied in the Art/Library/Interface elements folder from the vanilla game.

And, more weirdness, loading another mod and coming back to this one seems to fix the issue for a while.  Maybe this is something weird with my video card.

Not sure, man. That is very weird indeed. I've never seen an issue like that, where font is inconsistent in-game.

Very weird.
