On Windows 9x there might occur problems with a library gnubg is using 
(namely freetype). Oystein and Nardy seem to still use a slightly older 
version of it. With the new version I didn't have any problems anymore (Win95).

You can either get the version without freetype from Nardy's site (no 
drawbacks in functionality, only some numbers don't look overly nice).
Or you can download the most recent version of now including the newest 
freetype library from http://storm.prohosting.com/gnubg/ . I've just 
compiled the current CVS source and put the binary together with the new 
weights file (0.14) and a few necessary libraries (due to version 
differences) there.
