I downloaded the demo for Darwinia and when I tried to play it all the in-game text looked like little boxes of digital static instead of letters.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Is there a fix? (And if it depends on changing the pref, I can't read those either!)

What do you mean by that? The prefs file should just be a standard plaintext file. A few questions that might help us find an answer are:
What OS Version are you running?
Are you running in a language other then English?
Do you have any custom system modifications installed?
Have you done anything weird with your fonts?

open ~/Library/Application Support/Darwinia/full/preferences.txt
Find the line: RenderLandscapeMode = <whatever>
Replace with: RenderLandscapeMode = 0

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, the only difference that made is that now there are distinct little squares in some of the jumbled spaces/letters.
I forgot to mention the details of the box I'm trying to run it on: iMac DV SE (500MHz G3, 256 MB RAM, OS X 10.2.8)

The in-game pref boxes, or what I assume are in-game pref boxes. Didn't know about the plaintext file when I first posted.

Again thanks for the feedback.
I flailed about with the text file and managed to knock the bells and whistles down to something my old machine could handle.
The game looks very interesting, but it looks like I'm going to have to upgrade before I can try it out fully.
