You didn't upload the font files.

Thanks Arakon for your answer,

I open GUI and click upload font, wait for 256 charaters upload....restart MWI OSD and it is the same on screen.

Do you have an idea ?
Thanks,

Did you load a font first from the mwosd folder?
Cause the font you have right now looks very much like the old font of the minimOSD software.

I confirm it looks it is still minimosd original font.

I flashed with ftdi the code directly with the 6 pins in line then took GUI and upload font, I saw many characters on screen during upload but al end it is still same pb.

Do I need to flash with ISP the DP7456 ?

Thanks,

I don't think you can even flash that one over ISP.
Try using the 1.4 beta of MWOSD. 1.3 had some issues writing to the atmega, it may also have issues with the video chip.

Hi,
It works fine now,

I put 3s supply (instead of 2s used before) and used my old windows xp computer 32bit
I loaded last 1.4 release with arduino 1.6.4
Used win32 GUI
loaded font (took quite long time to download font)
and saved in PAL video format

now it works fine.

Thanks for your help.
