[bug] Font problem under Linux [workaround found]
@devs Thank you again for the Linux port!

Sadly, after starting the game I encountered a font problem. No fonts are visible - just their background.

Using Ubuntu 14.04 here (KDE). – Just let me know if you need more info :)

Thanks - we're investigating this issue!

This issue happens with free video driver (I have AMD HD 6770) but not with privative video driver fglrx.

Also, the introduction is not working correctly. I only get a pink screen instead of the animation.

And a crash on exit:

Pink screen is generally drivers either being out of date or the graphics card not up to min spec.

We're seeing a lot of OpenGL issues, so there's something wonky going on there.

To have a more up-to-date driver, I would need to install Mesa 10.5.3 or the development version (10.6), which had a bug with Crusader Kings 2.

Your store page doesn't list any OpenGL requirements. Is 3.3 supported or do you use any OpenGL 4+ extensions?

Nope, I just tried with 10.5.3 and 10.6 (latest git version), and I still get the same problems.

If this issue in mesa (OpenGL driver), may you open a bug in Bugzilla https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
