[Magic-dev] Font Gone Haywire

[Dean Lewis]

Well, I've certainly got a lot to look into now, haha.

To answer David Fang, its completely reproducible. Every time I start
3DMagic, it happens, and I don't get any GUI windows.

To answer Philippe Pouliquen, yes, the NO_VARARGS macro is in 7.1, but
I've been systematically cutting it out and just updating everything to
stdarg. Its quite likely I wasn't systematic enough and bugged it. Its
been a couple months since I successfully installed it on the school
puter, so I tried to reproduce the steps as well as possible, which
partially involved a massive varargs -> stdarg conversion.
