How do you know that the program contains a bitmap for the "z" character to begin with?

(By the way.. that source code is old, and I don't think it reflects the newest binary build).

Ok, so that answers the question about the font, but the source code you linked to originally doesn't actually have that bitmap set, so a newer version of the source code will be needed to make any easy determinations.


EDIT: Ok, so it looks like that binary is older than the source, but it still doesn't have that bitmap set. Is this a fork of some sort?

EDIT: Ok, so I answered my own question. That is a fork. That source appears to be a fork of Matrix Fall X, ported to Windows. So it's the wrong code base.

Ok. Here's the current source: http://simpleproject.open-design.be/files/..._3d_sources.zip

The code for the real version is actually VB6.

The bug is in ClsTitre2.cls. There's a couple of huge select case blocks that map characters to positions on the logical texture grid. There is no "z" in that. Since he is using global variables, that explains why you're getting duplicates of the previous character (as it's retaining its value). You'll obviously need to add "z" to those blocks.

No. This is a programming support community, not an arbitrary bug-fixing service. You might want to contact the author.
