I once tried changing my font to 16x16 squares. Then I got the same problem.

If you download a new, clean version of the game, and just run that without modifying anything ,does the problem persist, Apo?

If not, then it's probably just a problem with the tileset/graphics/init settings.

Well, my current settings are
[WINDOWED:YES]
[WINDOWEDX:800]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_800x600.bmp]

(My graphics drivers are up to date, by the way. Forgot to mention that in the report.)

Edit: Logical2u: This is on a clean version.

So no graphics, no partial print?

The only possible thing I can think of that might cause that is the .bmp not being in the correct format - should be 24 bit I think.

Yup, it's 24 bit. As I said, this is fresh from the zip.
Just tried converting the font files to png and using those, but that didn't do much either.

Try updating your graphics drivers. Win 7 drivers were very shaky for a while after launch, so if you haven't updated recently, yours probably have problems.

Graphics drivers are up to date, did the update yesterday.

Oops, I didn't read carefully.

Does DF 40d do the same thing? What about 40d16? There was a bug report a while back where nothing worked except turning off the SINGLE_BUFFER option in 40d16 init: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42419.0

Didn't even occur to me to test with old versions...
Is http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_28_181_40d.zip 40d16? It has the same problem.
I tried copying "[SINGLE_BUFFER:NO]" (and OFF) to the top of my init, but that didn't do anything.

Nope, that's regular 40d. This is 40d16: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349.0

40d16 doesn't stay black, it doesn't even overwrite whatever was under the window before (so I still see the explorer stuff in it)
After turning SINGLE_BUFFER *on* instead of off and switching to fullscreen instead of windowed mode, I do get (flickering) graphics.

(Texture compression is turned off, by the way.)

Hmm. 0.31 might not work for you until the 40d# merge, then. I can't think of anything else to try.

Aw.
I hope I'll get my fixed video card back soon, then. =P

Are you still having problems in 31.05? http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=58651.0
