After 3 Thief 2 reinstallations and at least a dozen different extraction combinations, DromEd still crashes with the following error message immediately following execution:
Cannot find GUI font (File: uigame.cpp, Line: 60).
Ignoring the message causes DromEd to stop working altogether and exiting obviously does nothing.
I've followed the instructions I found throughout the forums: Install Thief 2, install the latest newdark patch, and extract every file in the DromEd tool kit into the root Thief 2 directory. It's supposed to work fine from there on.
Unfortunately the FAQ was absolutely no help and troubleshooting only yields results from before newdark was even released (Most of them were dealing with the version DromEd which came on thief 2's disk, this won't work for me since I bought the game via Steam).
I'd really love to try my hand at some DromEd architecture, but this has been frustrating me to no end for the past 2 days. Am I missing something extremely obvious? Thank you for your help in advance.

in your cam.cfg or DromEd.cfg, what do you have specified for "gui_font"? I use
gui_font intrface/textfont
to have a larger, easier to read font. You could use
gui_font intrface/smalfont
if you want a smaller font, or try any of the other fonts in the intrface subdir.
This is the set of parms I use for my DromEd.cfg interface:
;bigger font
gui_font intrface/textfont
; desired height (pixels) of GFH/bottom area in editor, value may also be a negative number to define a
; percentage based relative height (-50 would be half the window, 50%)
gfh_height 150
; max width of command terminal (if there is free space to make it wider)
gfh_max_cmd_width 410
; number of decimal places displayed in GFH coordinate entry boxes, a value 2 to 8 (default is 2)
gfh_coord_decimals 4
; alternative texture PnP layout (allows a taller texture thumbnail)
texture_pnp_layout 1
; status bar height, a value between 16 and 64 (default is 16), usually only needed when using custom font
status_height 24
; display XYZ info for the current mouse cursor position in a 2D viewport
show_mouse_xyz
; display current camera coordinates
show_camera_xyz

DromEd can't find the file in editor.crf because the path in darkinst.cfg doesn't point that way. Install Tafferpatcher with DromEd, that will do it. Or set the resname path correctly.
