After downloading files necessary for playing the game, no problem.
Installed OpenAl, no problem.
Tried to play Tutorial, problem:

Game starts okay and graphics are great, but the text on the screen appears
on the screen as little boxes. I have tried several different screen resolutions and still can't read text in game?
Pressing Esc just brought up a screen with strange icon like characters I have never seen before?
What otherwise looks like a fantastic game, not being able to read on-screen
text, unfortunately is a show stopper.
would appreciate any HELP on the matter.
