Description
Freshly built ScummVM 0.11.0 release on Solaris 8 Sparc, the classic GUI does not contain any resemblance of text. The button outlines are normal, as far as I can tell, but where once was text are just lines and dots without meaning. (see attached screenshot).
Ticket imported from: #1871509. Ticket imported from: bugs/3558.

Modern theme looks equally broken.. the graphics are fine, but fonts aren't rendered correctly. Starting a game from the command line allows me to play fine, but the F5 menus don't work either. File Added: scummvm2.jpg

Is definitely a regression. ScummVM 0.10.0 was perfectly usable (else I wouldn't have submitted the package those days). Nothing in my build environment has been changed since then.

Unfortunately, I can't even begin to guess what's wrong. It would be helpful if you could narrow down when between 0.10 and 0.11 the regression happened.

I finally found out (after getting a few suggestions on #scummvm) that the issue comes from the configure script no longer detecting my machine as big-endian. I wouldn't have thought that this misconfiguration could manifest in this way, and still allow me to test-play MI1 without problems. Weird.

The problem seems to be that the behaviour of Solaris' grep is undefined when the input file contains binary data. Based on wooshell's suggestion, this could be a possible fix (supposing "strings" is installed on all build environments):

Yesm strings is a standard POSIX utility, so this fix is OK.
Please, backport it to the branch too
comment:9 by , 16 years ago
Done. wooshell, let us know if you still have to do some manual modifications.

No more manual changes needed for this issue. I would however be glad if a fix for #1523129 would also make it into the .1 release... this would mean I could finally build my release packages without any manual intervention. ;-)
