Hi, only guess, try to switch from OpenGL to Software mode in File > Preferences.
Never see this error before.

Cheers mib.

Thanks - but unfortunately can't get to Prefs without UI.

Highly suspect of FontExplorerX font manager .
Will ditch it and reinstall core Mavericks fonts and let you know what happens.

Thanks - Peter

Haha, this make sense.
Start Octane from a terminal with --no-opengl
This switch off OpenGL viewport drawing.

Cheers, mib.

I have seen this before.
Double check these 3 fonts are ok: "Lucida Grande", "Times New Roman" and "Monaco".

Thanks
Chris.

Thanks Chris & Mib

Was indeed fonts.

Reinstalled core Mavericks fonts and UI is back.

Had been cutting back fonts to all but core system mac and that caused problems.

Monaco Times and Lucida Grande were loaded so I suspect others.

Will detail more as I learn which fonts were responsible.

Appreciate your help

Peter






Many thanks

Peter

Remove the Quadro. Octane is calculating on single precision floating points. Quadro is waste of money in Octane use. Install a GTX780Ti and overclock it.
