<p>Hello everyone!</p><p>I'm new here, just signed up for the 14-day trial to see if the game is addictive enough for me to buy it hehe.</p><p>However before I could enter the game I'm getting the following error:</p><p><em></em></p><p><em>Failed to init Arial. You may need to reboot before some fonts will load.</em></p><p>Now, I have searched these forums for solutions. Tried everything I found regarding the "arial32.exe" file, but nothing worked... <img src="/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Could anyone give me any other possible fixes to this issue?</p><p>Thanks in advance,</p><p>~Allarien</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>When you say that you have tried the arial32.exe file, is this the one you're referring to?</p><p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=corefonts&filename=arial32.exe&use_mirror=softlayer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/project/down...irror=softlayer</a></p><p>Either way, I would try installing that font pack and restarting one more time just to be sure it wasn't a corrupt download. </p><p>The Arial font pack will actually get modified by one of the Microsoft Office programs which is what causes this error.  If you're using Microsoft Office on your computer then you might want to leave it disabled throughout this process.  If none of the steps listed above correct the issue then you might need to reinstall the font pack from your Windows CD.</p>
