[SOLVED] Text on buttons have dissapeared

anyone any clue on how to solve this issue?

Note: its a local issue. I do not have this problem on other pc's.

edit: Also. I use this to start maptool:

Code: Select all

set STACK=5M
set MAXMEM=1024M
set JAVA="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"
set VERS=1.3.b90

start "MapTool" %JAVA% -Xmx%MAXMEM% -Xss%STACK% -jar maptool-%VERS%.jar run
if I change "jre7" to "jre8" (aka, if I use java 8 instead of java 7) there is no issue (well obviously there will be other issues, but not the 'no text' issue).

Have you tried uninstalling Java 7 and then reinstalling it?
Maptool is the Millennium Falcon of VTT's -- "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts."

I was fearing this reaction as to me it seems the only solution (if it is that) foreseeable.

anyway, not yet. I was hoping for a less drastic suggestion.

set JAVA="C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"
Try changing java.exe to javaw.exe.

Well, uninstalling java 7 and reinstalling shouldn't be a big deal. Just make sure to use the manual install if using 64bit system. Maybe you have a bad default.theme. you can copy from another install or create a new one with tinylaf (b87? or earlier). Oh, the javaw probably didn't make a difference because you used "start" to run it, so it's being run anyway. I find it odd that only the macro buttons and none of the other text is being effected. It's like the font is blank just for the macro buttons. Perhaps it's a bug. I noticed you have a sliver for the first button. If it's not important try deleting it or renaming it. Are the other macro buttons like for the Select Window the same?

edit: nm, I see from your picture it is.

the reinstall worked.

The first button *did* have a title, but the min size was not fixed. As all text in the titles was gone, it was reduced to that 'sliver'. So it was not just cosmetics, the text in the macros was *really* gone.
Anyway, the re-install worked.
