Sysmetrix text doesn't show up??

from WinCustomize Forums
I have several sysmetrix themes that when I try and load them it only shows the picture images(.bmp), the text doesn't show up. Example of this is the drive letters, time, date and all of the text really. I try to install the fonts that are in the folders but most of them tell me that it is already installed. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I have tried everything I can think of. Which means it is probably something simple I am forgetting. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey Oracle, you might check the configuration. If you open up the "textual information" there should be all configured items. If not, then there's the problem. If there is, it is another problem. Probably wrong directory.

pinchecl...I did what you suggested and looked at all the textual information and the only way I got them to work was to manually change the font for each one. It is time consuming to do that but all of text showed up. I used your P128 skin to try it on, it was one the text wasn't showning up on. I had to change all the fonts to Lucida Console to get it to show up. I am sure there is something I have missed that causes me to have to do it that way. You would think that if the font is in my windows font folder it should work and show up. I guess I will keep playing with it and see what else might fix it.

Thanks for your help and any other suggestions you might think of is appreciated.

Thanks pinchecl, the ini file is on the way. As I said it may just be me, seems the simplest things like to annoy me.
