[Winpod3G]Some strings are not shown

iPL doesn't show some kinds of strings after it's installed manually. it didn't happen when I installed it with installer2 before.

I tried recopying userland, pz and kernel from links on manual installation page and changing fonts and color scheme for several times, but nothing solved the problem.

These are some modules that are affected by the problem; battery monitor, chmod, chopper, dopewars(most unfortunate thing since I like it a lot), snake360, screen capture, podwrite and so on. I think strings placed manually by programmers are making trouble.

Any idea to solve this?
Thanks

These are everything I did to install iPL;
1)Tried installing with installer 2 binaries from 'Installer 2' page on wiki.
-'failed to rejigger bootloader' error occured every time I tried.

2)Tried installing with installer 2 from SVN.
-'failed to rejigger bootloader' error still occured.
-'installing in data partition' solved the error, but not being able to deselect modules annoyed me(it makes booting longer), so I

3)installed manually with Slax.
-I found out that firmware partition had only 8 cylinders, which made problem when splitted into halves, so I set 10 cylinders for firmware, 23 for iPL, and rest for data as 'Manual Installation' page on wiki explained.

What do you see instead of the strings? Are there black bars?

You might not have any fonts installed, try installing all the default appearance files. They reside in /usr/share on the ext2 partition.

I've installed fonts, and I can see everything except the strings of those modules.
Instead of the strings, well, nothing. just blank.

P.S. I want to show you some screenshots, but I can't find how to upload and attach pictures. Could someone explain it?

Perhaps the version of podzilla you have installed is incompatible with those modules? There's not much more I can think of other than the possibility that the modules are simply broken.

Upload them to some file or image hosting service and then use the [img] tag to display them in the thread.

Nope, my podzilla2 is the newest nightly version, and recopying modules didn't solve the problem.
What should I do now?
