Do you get the same results that another tester got when trying the test module I uploaded in this thread: https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/counters-dont-show-numbers-or-name/6563/1 ?
Note: It’s the test module, not the test VASSAL build. I’m curious if the 3 rightmost images display text properly.
Also, I’m not sure if this would matter when trying the most recent VASSAL build, but you might try flushing your tile cache before using the HIS module again. It’s in the Tools menu when you are in the Module Manager.
