Does anyone else use a script for partition table doctor? I've used it in previous builds with vistape and livexp. In win7rescuepe none of the text shows up. There are just lines instead.
I've tried loading it with process monitor running and it looks like it uses the fonts sserife.fon and vgafix.fon. I've made sure that both of these are present in the windows/fonts folder.

Well, that would indicate that it should work. I tried downloading the ppApps_Base and got the portable version from there. It has the same display problem. Any idea what might be missing from my build?

Honestly, I have no idea

, I'm not familiar enough with PE3 to give an educated guess. Hopefully wimb can give a clue why his build works better

in win7rescuepe you have the possibility to add addition fonts (under Build->Copy Files) ... have you tried this?

What script did you use? can you give a download link for testing?

well I tried to attach my script but the uploader seems broken. Even if I just copy the files to a usb drive and run it from there the same problem exists.

Would it be possible to give some details for this fix so we can get it working in our own builds?

Can you give any more details on what was wrong with that section? Or should I just wait until the next version is uploaded.

Thanks for the hint but I don't have 2-Config.script in my build so I would need to know which fonts were added, even if you don't know specifically, just giving the whole section you added/changed would be very helpful

It's the shell and config script. Here is the section I assume he's talking about:

Right, I've included those (and many other) fonts, I was hoping to hear what he had done different; let's see what Joshua comes up with.

I found the offending line within the fontsubstitutes. Commenting out this line fixes the problem with partition table doctor.
RegWrite,"HKLM",0x1,"Tmp_software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes","Fixedsys,0","Fixedsys,204"

However, I don't know if this is going to cause problems elsewhere. I don't know if Joshua's solution is going to be to remove this line or to modify it.
