I just bought Civ 3 on GOG and installed it, after not having played it for years.

As soon as main menu was displayed I remembered that I needed the KeepRes=1 setting to keep the game resolution matching my monitor..

So I exited the game, set that in the INI, ran it again and it works fine.
But, within the game all the text for cities, units, etc. is hard to read. It is thin and spidery.
I don't remember this issue from when I used to play Civ 3 years ago, even with the resolution change.

Am I missing a font? Something else?
I can't see any in-game setting that relates to this.


Thanks.

You might want to try to rename the LSANS.fot in the ..\Civilization III Complete\Conquests (where the Civ3Conquests.exe is located). Civ3 does some funny things with fonts and renaming that file can solve it,
