Hi Swishtail,

Welcome to the forum.

From the contents of the errors file, it appears that the Arial font isn't installed on your system.

If you could download and install the font this should resolve your problem - http://web.nickshanks.com/fonts/microsoft-core-web-fonts

Hope this helps.

Yep, that did the trick.  Weird... I can't imagine how I lost Arial.... Thanks!

No problem!

We're packaging the font with the next version of the game to prevent this from occurring again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Enjoy playing AI War.
