When I try out the examples and select Direct3D 9.0 driver, it gives the following error. It happens on 2 PCs, what is the problem ? There is no problem with the other drivers.

This is a long shot but do you have DirectX9.0c installed? Not just DirectX9.0.

I don't have 9.0c installed.

Before I upgrade to 9.0c, I've tried to compiled the irrlicht 0.7 in debug mode. The problem no longer occurred if I use this debug mode dll.

I then upgrade to 9.0c. The problem is completely disappeared no matter which dll is used.

Is it a compatibility issue to be fixed in the future version of irrlicht ? What is the different in #DefaultFont handling between 9.0b and 9.0c ?
