Re: [Opengc-devel] opengc 0.3 under windows xp

Hmmm....

I should probably package that DLL with the download - you're not the first
person to run into problems with it. But, if OpenGC is able to start at all,
that's probably not the problem. Did you verify that the font path is
correct (by actually checking for arial.ttf at the location specified by
opengc.ini). The hang that you're describing suggests that the font path is
not correct.

On my Win2000 machine, the font path is C:/WinNT/Fonts/ - I don't have an XP
machine available to look at at the moment. Let me know if you discover
anything.

Any advice on getting this to work?  First time around I received a message
saying MSVCP70.DLL was missing.  I downloaded and installed version
7.0.9064.0 of the dll (it's the only one I could find).  Now I see the
following two messages in a dos box "ogcAppObject constructed" and
"ogcFontManger constructed".  Things hang right there with the processor
pegged at 100%.

My OpenGC.ini follows.
