If i open the Inspector window the letter y is invisible, and i have no clue what happens here.

I'm on Win 7 / 64bit (still), Max version is 8.1.5

It's not a big deal of course but adds a little irritation while patching. In the patch everything is fine. Has anybody here experienced something similar ?

Hi, The topic sa s it all ;-)

Maybe there's something going on with your system's font used to render the text, or the fact that you're using Win 7 - I'm on Win 10 and have no problems whatsoever

Found a solution myself, so i'm posting it here:

The problem seemed to be the LATO font, which (at least on my machine) made those font rendering errors. Replaced them with VERDANA and everything seems fine now. (Also the documentation files look much better now !)

I have to add that the font names in [... Max 8\resources\fonts] have to stay in their original form, otherwise MAX will not start up. So i had to copy "VERDANA.ttf" under the name "Lato*.ttf" to make this work.
