0.298 [UI/installation] Some fonts not displaying after fresh installation

from Elemental Forums

I had an updated installation running briefly, but I think I broke it by switching windows during initial map loading/generation. Fonts looked normal in the game start sequence, but I didn't get to the main map.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing from Impulse and re-installing. The game sort of started working again, but fonts for most button labels and some text in the game start sequence are not displaying. I tried an uninstall from Control Panel and manual followup deleting old files in the ProgramData, Program Files, and User Data areas and then reinstalled. I still cannot see the fonts on the main menu buttons, larger-font text in the setup UI, and similar contexts.

I have the .dmp from the initial crash after update if that would be helpful, but I suspect there is a fresh-install font problem with this build.

Last night's mini-update did not change my situation. I tried manually copying the files from the Fonts folder under the game's Program Files tree to my system Fonts folder, and that didn't help either.

The problem persists in 0.299. Sigh.

Heh. You type that like I had a steel trap of mind; mine's a steel sieve with an only moderately fine mesh. NBD as long as it's just a public beta thing.

Edit: Forgot to be direct for folks who might be in 'the same' situation. The reboot worked, all UI looks fine for me now.
