I actually downloaded the hotu (www.the-underdogs.org) version. I also 
added in some of the missing files (voice, music, hi-res graphics). A 
lot of the fonts work fine. It's when they appear at certain points. 
Maybe it's just a single font or two, and when it displays that 
particular font, maybe it messes other things up.

Oh, I also get the same problem in the dock screen, where you can choose 
between going to the next mission, viewing technical specs, exiting, 
editing players, etc. The text on the bottom of that screen comes up all 
blocky also. No text, just blocky lines.

It's English. It runs fine on windows. Just having problems with the 
linux version. I'm wondering if it has to do with some of the files not 
being named with the right case.
