Hey while starting the game, it crashes showing " Error loading font".
Any idea on how to solve this?
thanx ahead

I am also getting the same error.. please anybody help us..

Don't have the game but my guess it your Windows install is missing a standard font that the game needs to run.
Since you may have an international version of Windows installed and for a specific language, Windows might have skipped over some standard "english" fonts on the install.
Maybe check your font directory and make sure the standard Arial, Courier, Tahoma (good possibility), Times New Roman etc etc are installed.
Installing the missing font will probably fix your problem . . .=^ )

Alright, I have the same problem. My fonts look good to me, but obviously they're not good enough. Could you pack all your fonts in a zip, upload somewhere and let me try out if that's really the issue?

See this post for font source, no way to upload fonts sorry.

So this is still unsolved then? :(

I got this error under OpenSUSE Linux 11.2 using wine 1.1.28. The problem was the game was trying to read data off of my cdrom drive. Some debugging showed that the files it wanted were really in the "Patrician 1 and 2" parent directory of Patrician 2.
For wine under linux, I had to run winecfg and remove my physical cdrom drive so it was no longer drive D:, remove my linux home directory (Z), and add the .../drive_c/Program\ Files/GOG.com/Patrician\ 1\ and\ 2/Patrician\ 2/ as drive D: in order to get around the "Font not found" problem.
After that, everything worked. Not sure if that helps with Windows installs. My windows Patrician 2 crashes with an obscure 0xc0000005 error on startup, so I never got that far. Possibly it's the same problem though -- the game is trying to read the cdrom drive.
