Descriptive Problem Summary: When playing the game Dragonball Phoenix, many of us get the bug of "Black text" Where all text goes black forever until you clear your cache and reboot your computer. This bug only happens every now and then but its becoming more frequent.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: Random.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results: Black Text.

Actual Results:

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Its timing seems to be Random, ranging from after someone uses Telepathy or Relogs.
In other games? No
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? Yes

When does the problem NOT occur? when cache is cleared and computer is rebooted.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? I beileve its to do with the font. But the coder thinks its a Byond bug, not a coding bug. (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Workarounds: Clear cache and reboot.

This report doesn't have enough information to reproduce the issue. At a minimum, this is what more we would need:

1) A link to the hub entry game in which this happens (the name is not enough).
2) A set of steps to reproduce the problem in a reliable way.
3) A more detailed description of the symptoms of the bug.
