Every time I come back to this board it has undergone some serious changes! Wow!
I can't seem to post a topic in the UC section so I'll try it here. I downloaded UC, and the fix but when I try to launch the game I get a message: "Cannot init FONT file FONTS\LARGEFONT1.sti"
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to fix this. I have been through numerous JA versions (over the years) and want to go back and play UC again. I downloaded it from GOG and am trying to run it on Windows 7. Most other GOG downloads run fine and on my older XP when I try to run an older JA (Talonsoft) and run UC I get a similar message ("Cannot init FONT file FONTS\BLOCKFONT.sti")
Beats the heck out of me. Any ideas?
Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for your quick response. I'll give it a shot when I get off work and return home.
There seems to be a lot of dead links scattered across this board. For old timers like me (my first console game was PONG, then Colecovision, Atari 800, Mac, Apple IIGS, 286, 386, 486, PII and on up to my dual core) the world of computer games just keeps getting faster and faster with lots of casualties scattered along the way. No more having to tweek config.sys and bat files because today's computers do a lot of the heavy lifting for you (some might say taking some of the fun/challenge/frustrations out of the experience).
JA, JA2, Deadly Games and the like are like old friends and sometimes I just want to settle in with a good old game full of challenge and variety and the Bear Pit has always provided the best support to one of my loves.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help. The game is now up and running without a crash (so far).
