I was going to play Morrowind one night and it didn't work (the disc was in). So, in hopes of getting it to work, I uninstalled it. Then, I couldn't reinstall it until a week later.

Now, the game is installed and the icon is on my desktop but I keep getting this weird error whenever I go to play it.

It reads: Font 0 not found in .\Morrowind.ini. Current path: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind.

Can someone help me with this problem? (Btw, my former name on here was Warhammer NoBaka, but I changed to this one).

Hmm...Why couldnt you reinstall it before? If you dont have any mods or can easily get them back I would recommend copying your save files to another location and deleting the morrowind folder. You might also want to defrag/run scandisk after uninstalling it if you havent. If none of these suggestions work I would check the cd for scratches or marks and try cleaning it up.

Go into Morrowind.ini and search for the string "[fonts]" -- if the entries under that don't look exactly like that shown below, or there is no instance of that string, add the text below to the end of the INI.

[Fonts]
Font 0=magic_cards_regular
Font 1=century_gothic_font_regular
Font 2=daedric_font

If the text is exactly the same, then you'll need to find some way to install all three fonts.

Thanks to both of j00 for help. I'm going to try Marxist ßastard's idea right now.

Edit: Dammit now I got THIS error (Failed to load cursor: Meshes\.nif. Meshes\.nif cannot load file")

This may be a long shot...but perhaps you still have the ghost of your previous install in your registry, interfering with the current install.

I'll check it out...

Nope. No copies or ghosts. Yeah, it was a long-shot.

Holy thread necromancy, batman!
Your Morrowind.ini file is screwed. It appears you have the files, but the references to said files don't exist (because, your morrowind.ini is screwed).

I accidentally erased too much text in my morrowind.ini, reinstalled, and it still didn't work.
I guess I'll need to get rid of the original directory, and try again...

..tomorrow.

So just uninstall everything completely related to Morrowind? Then reinstall and see if the damn thing isn't f***ed up? Sorry, but this is pissing me off.

I'll give it a go right now.

Holy f***, it worked! But now the damn thing is as slow as hell.

I have about 27 plugins currently plugged in. Do I need to turn some off?

The amount of plugins you have shouldn't affect game speed... I don't think. Which ones do you have active?

Here's the list:

Zed
Balmora Museum
Elis'car
Stanegau Isle
LeFemmArmor
Vogar Lucan
Velendosval
The Island
Siege at Firemoth
Balcony House
Mournhold Battle Arena
The Isle of Elskjiver
Almilia's daughters (latest)
Creature Pack 1.1
Mesa Fortress 0.1
A few custom plugins (just some weapons and armor and a few skeleteon keys)
Secret Police
House of God
Phoenix Manor
Alius Mansion
The Hall of Doors
Sorkhaven 1.1

Whew! :lol:

You'd have to ask Baphomet about that one! I don't even know what most of those plugins are! :blink:

But he's rarely ever on! :lol:

So just PM him. He'll help as best he can when he can, trust me! I just requested a list of some cool mods to download from him and there they were a few days later. (Thanks again Baph!) Cool guy just a case of patience

The man got to me yesterday after I sent him a PM. He said that plugins with "land masses" could be slowing it down. He also said to use the Frame Rate Optimizer. My next question: can it be downloaded in the Utility section of the mods on this site?

Damn, he's cool. Not to mention helpful. Thanks Baph!

Don't think so, there's a link to the FPS Optimizer in the pinned "How to avoid CTDs" thread at the top of this forum. (Also by Baph! ^_^)
