Doesn't happen for me.

My font.ini:
[FONTS]
Font1=BankGothic Lt BT
Font2=Lucida Console
FontMenuSize=12
FontConsoleSize=9
FontBigSize=28
FontWeaponMenuSize=8
FontConsoleSmallSize=7
FontHeightScale=125
FontMenuBold=1
FontConsoleBold=0
FontBigBold=1
FontWeaponMenuBold=0
FontConsoleSmallBold=0
KillConsoleNameSpace=8

What do the error messages you get look like? Exact message text would be really helpful.

Your font.ini is the same as mine except for the lines "FontHeightScale=100" (which doesn't affect bug, whether 125 or 100), and "FontConsoleSize=10" (which I had to change in order to run the game)

The message looks like standard Windows error message, with text "Access violation at address 006115DB in module 'Soldat.exe' Read of address 00000000."

Found out why this is happening.
It seems like your graphics card cannot create font textures for the font size.
I changed it to stop drawing to the texture and log the error (when logging=1 is set in soldat.ini).

The game should run but there will be text missing.
Once the next version is out please run soldat with logging enabled, reopen the bugreport and add the log file (log.txt in logs folder).
