Vista - Civilization III

Civilization III Complete installs fine on both Vista x86 and x64. However
when I run the game I get a game error no. 28, Font not Found, and the game
exits. I cannot find anything on the Civ forums about this. Anybody hear
anything about this? I don't imagine that this is a Vista issue, per se.

If memory serves me there's a font on the game's CD, have a look in there
and try manually installing it. I'm also pretty sure there was something
about fonts in the Read Me file.

But its been a while since I've played Civ 3.

Hey, I'm having the exact same problem, looked for font on CD, and
viewed the readme with no help?

i am having the same problem, but your answer wasn't specific enough. how do
i get to where the lsans.fot is and what do i rename it to. could you provide
directions for an occasional gamer.
