Problem with source from a book

Now I know this is only sort of OpenGl related, but if you have Game Programming Gems please help me out. When I try to make a very basic program that uses the text utility library on the cd (CD:\SourceCode\Appendix\01Treglia), there are just white rectangles where the characters shoud be. Durring initialization I do this:

Box.SetMode(TEXT_NONE);
Box.Printf("Hello, world");

and then every frame I call:

Box.Draw();

The example app on the cd runs fine, BTW.
