    Fix

    Solution provided by MafuJosh -

    Code:
    •	Download and unzip https://sites.google.com/site/mafujosh/Civ5WorkaroundFontsForIntel965VideoCard.zip 
    •	Go to the C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\UI\Fonts\Tw Cent MT folder on your computer, and copy the existing files to some place for safe keeping.
    •	Then copy the files from inside this zip file into this folder.
    Try this, it worked for me and I had the same issue as yours.

    Suggest you start your own thread with some details of what your problem is and post a dxdiag to save time. This is a very old thread that may or may not be the same as your issue (whatever it is).
