------- Additional Comments From cklein@mpi-sb.mpg.de 2006-10-02 14:20 ------- The bug is also present in 20050419.
It doesn't occur until 2005-07-07, because up to this patch, the msvcrt.dll that is put into the game directory during installation is used, but after the change to dlls/ntdll/loadorder.c, the builtin version of the dll is used, which causes both the crash when loading and the broken fonts.
So this is probably not a regression but a bug that was hidden by the native dll.
