From an older FAQ:
Graphical problems (Matrox and Cirrus)
--------------------------------------------
If you have an old version of the Matrox or Cirrus Logic
graphical adaptor, the pull down menus in REBEL CENTURY may be
unreadable. You can fix this in the following way:
- Start REBEL CENTURY
- Press "F6" (is CFG menu)
- Press "UP ARROW" 6 times
- Press ENTER
Menu is now ok.
Your Cirrus Logic or Matrox video card does not support a
font of REBEL CENTURY. A bugfix for your Matrox card is on
the Internet at: http://www.matrox.com/
=========
If this doesn't work, try again but now:
- Press "UP ARROW" 4 times
Good luck,
Ed
