I have finished a space invaders clone in DBC. When I run the program from DBC it works fine. However, when I build the final .exe, some of the text acts weird. It looks like text in font sizes 14 and 48 are sometimes simultaneously being put on the screen. Other than this, the game works fine.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Put a Wait 2 command (or sync if you don't mind raggedy screen updates) command just before any set text size command.

I tried the wait 2 just before changing the text size. It changed things a little, but didn't fix the problem entirely. Using sync before the text size changes worked in every case but one. I found that if I used print for everything it worked, but you are stuck with font size 12 (or whatever it is with print). Anyway, thank you! I was able to get the final build completed.

It should have worked in every case. There was something else special about that instance.
If Wait 2 did not work then Wait 3 may have.
The problem is that the graphics pipeline can be a bit slow for text creation.
The text hadn't finished rendering to both buffers before the OS changed the parameters used to draw the text.
