My laptop is:
AMD Turion x2 1.9 ghz
RAM 512 MB
VGA Nvidia Geforce 7000 (Shared memory 64 MB)
Display WXGA 14.1 inch

I'm using the code that available in the tutorial "My first computer program". I try to change the video mode (640x480/800x600/1024x768/1280x800), video screen mode, still error. I even try to change the screen resolution (640x480/800x600/1024x768/1280x800), still error. I even try to turn on and off the scaling for wide screen view, nothing work.

Anyone ever got this problem? And the solution...?

Yep. Have the same problem:
Its about anti-aliasing as far as I know, which kind of screws up the bitmap fonts.
Thus you need to turn anti-aliasing off in your graphics-card settings.
Best would be to set it to "software-setting", which lets the software decide if anti-aliasing is used or not.
However I have no clue whats that text is in the upper right corner.

@all: Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have this problem on my Laptop too. You have to turn off the anti-aliasing.
DirectX blurrs your 2D graphics.

This is a very unfortunate feature of 3dgs, by wich games look different on different Systems.
2D Bitmaps should not get any blurring!

Try to change the video mode with video_set. I have had blurred text when I run my application 800x600 window mode, but when I set the resolution from 800x600 -> 1024x768 and back to 800x600 in window mode, the text became readable again. Don't know if this is the correct way though.

Would like to ask why recommending to turn of anti-aliasing on the graphic card, when this blurred text problem occurs? Thought it was a nice feature for games in general and A7 to get rid of jagged edges.

@D3D:
That was recommend to me by conitec staff when I reported the problem some time ago.

Ok, but guess if video_set can be used to solve the problem it would be a better solution than switching off anti-alias feature on the graphics card by the end-user.

Also maybe the reason text appear blurred is different in pus2meong case. I know that it happend not only on my laptop with integrated graphics in the past, but on my other machines with Geforce 6600, 7900 and 8800 as well. If i'm not mistaken, the problem was already present in A6 GameStudio that text didn't displayed correctly.

Alternatively, it might have to do with the settings of d3d_texlimit.

That's odd because I let the application choose the best settings. So then acknex engine should disable anti-alias or just not use this feature, but it seems that it does and distorted the text unless I switch resolution.

Okay, it worked now, and about the weird text in upper right corner, i find out it was the engine watermark logo. i add this code: var logo = 2; and the weird text moved to bottom right corner.

I wonder if this is bug/error? Or the installation program i've download is corrupted? but no sign of this, since it suppose tobe warn me if the installation program or the engine are corrupted/altered. I use ver. 7.06.1

Anyway, i set the antialiasing into "Application Controlled" mode, not "off".

Oh by the way, after doing another test, i only get this error watermark logo when run the engine using SED (since i'm still newbie, i never open WED, i keep using SED to learn the tutorial, silly me ). If i run the engine with WED, the watermark logo is fine. Eventualy i found out if WED using the exe version of the engine while SED using DLL version.
