VERSION:
1.74 (CCEDU combined w/ ComputerCraft [one mod])
DESCRIPTION:
I'm trying to display text on a monitor to replace signs so I can talk to the pupils (I'm making a map where you will learn about ComputerCraft) because I want to use ComputerCraft because I'm teaching them ComputerCraftEDU. It just won't display anything on the monitor.
EXPECTED RESULT:
Be able to display text and graphics.
REPRODUCTION STEPS:

Place down a PC (any)
Place down a monitor (any)
Go into the computer and type this in as the program:


local t = peripheral.find( "monitor" )
t.write( "Testing" )

4. Run the program.

SCREENSHOT/VIDEO:
Can't. It display's nothing on the monitor and doesn't throw an error on the PC

Though the specifics described vary, they do all look the same as this report to me.

As a workaround, try changing the text scale of the monitor (and then changing it back again, if you want) before writing to it. You may also need to specify your cursor position, if you'd already been attempting to use the monitor before rescaling it.
