[MiNT] strange system font with NVDI (was: Q-funk's MiNT problem)

hello everybody,

In a very old message (Mon, 17 May 1999 23:20:38 +1200),

I have exactly the same problem with the system font on my CT2 Falcon
with MiNT 1.15.5 and NAES 1.7+NVDI 3.01 over TOS 7.04.
(Centek TOS 4.04 patched for TT-RAM suppport)
The problem doesn't occur on the vcons but only in GEM applications.
Moreover, everything was ok with MiNT 1.15.5 and NAES 1.7+NVDI 3.01
without the CT2 as far as I remember 8-(

I didn't find how it was solved in my MiNT mailing-list history,
can you help me ?

John
