Hi, I am posting this in the XBMC for Windows category as I am only experiencing this problem on Windows 7 and not on a specific skin, although I believe it might be a problem with my language files. I hope this is the correct place for this post.
I've upgraded to Windows 7, and since the upgrade, I've not been able to view any text in XBMC at all. I did a fresh install of Windows 7, and I have tried both the last stable build (Camelot 9.11), Dharma Beta 1, Beta 2 and Beta 3. I've also tried the previous stable build Atlantis 8.10. In neither of them I am able to view any text in the menus at all. Everything else is working fine.
I have two different laptops running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit and they both have the same problem. This excludes most hardware problems, I believe.
(Before I updated to Windows 7 they ran Windows XP and Windows Vista, and neither of them had any problems with the XBMC builds I've tried in Windows 7.)
I've tried searching, but I've only found posts relating to XBMC for Xbox so far. I've tried to delete the Confluence/PM3.HD folder, and copy it from my xbox (and the web) hoping that would work, but, unfortunately, it didn't. I've also tried to replace the language files with the ones inside XBMC installed on a machine running Windows XP.
I would have posted the debug log, but as I can't see any menu items, I have no idea of where to activate debug mode.
I've also tried several other skins, PM3, Aeon, MediaStream and so forth, with no change. (I've managed to switch between them inside of XBMC. The skin loads, but still no text.) This leads me to believe the problem lies in the general language files, or the video format settings (Pal / NTSC), but I do not know enough about this to fix it myself.
I hope someone might have an idea of what I can do to fix this as I used to use XBMC a lot before this problem occurred, and I'm starting to miss it to be honest.
