stigzler:
Very unusual. Especially given it works on other PCs - may point to the issue not being with CPWizard, but with your hardware?

Either way, a better picture (try ScreenShot captor to get a screenshot) and CPWizard log may be helpful....

anchounio:
I've found out what's happening, but not the solution.

Those graphic glitches are actually the "Game title" (MISC_GAME_NAME) and "number of players" (MISC_NPLAYERS), which somehow have turned into a gigantic font when loading cpwizard into my arcade computer with Calamity drivers and a 640x480 desktop resolution.

I'm loading cpwizard through an external hdd:
This is how it looks when I load Cpwizard in any other computer: (See "Normal.png")
This is how it looks when loading cpwizard in my arcade computer: (see "Captura1.png")
In my arcade computer, If I open cpwizard application (not a game), it looks like this: (See "Captura2.png"). When clicking on the graphical bugs they turned out to be "misc_game_name" and "misc_players" with a gigantic font (See "Captura3.png" and "Captura4.png").

But I don't know what made Cpwizard change the font size of them when I load it in my the arcade computer. That's the bug!
Here's the log of cpwizard (see cpwizard.rar)

I thought it might be a problem with the low resolution of that computer, which is 640x480. But the problem is not happening If I change the resolution of any other computer into 640x480 and then load cpwizard. It only happens in my arcade computer. It is a computer with an original arcade monitor. I has an ATI Radeon 7870XT with crt emu driver by calamity and Windows 7 x64. All the operating systems of all the computers I've used are Windows 7 x64.

Ben - this might have something to do with my additions to the code. In order to improve the resolution of the main menu fonts, I changed a constant somewhere (fontsize) - this resulted in higher resolution fonts, but it was to something silly like 60.

I'm up to my neck in DIY at the moment, but can take a look at this in 3/4 weeks, if you want me to have a go.

Weird that it's only certain tokens that it's doing it to, though...

@anchounio + @headkaze

on second thoughts, the fact that it only happens with one specific set of drivers may point to a compatibility issue? have you tried any other drivers, anchounio or another GPU?

anchounio:
When using an arcade monitor there are not many chances of changing drivers.
But before using the Ati Raden 7870XT + Calamity Drivers, about a year ago I was using another video card, the
ArcadeVGA 5000 by Ultimarc. I had no issues with Cpwizard by then.

But I also remember having had no issues with the Radeon 7870xt + calamity drivers. The issue started about 4 or 5 months ago, but I gave no importance to it, so I don't remember what changes I did on my arcade computer.

By the way, I'm using cpwizard 2.42, but I guess you saw that on the log file.

If you can upload here the version before those changes you made to the fonts, I could test it and let you know about.
