Crash/Squished text with any exe file

[TheBloodyScreen]

I have been trying to mod the game properly now for two days and I am not able to find the error.
I have, as mentioned in Step 3 of http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=15520.0, chosen the "ff7_bc.exe" since I would like to use The Reunion - Beacause + Menu Overhaul.
After that crashed with the error message(screenshot below) I first tried to change settings around and realized that the crash happens as soon as the Menu Overhaul is activated.
Having realized that I double checked if I was using the correct exe which I was but in the spirit of having tried everything before asking for help I tried to use "ff7_mo.exe" and "ff7.exe" aswell
With the exact same result(again screenshot below).

In addition to that even if I disable Beacause/Menu Overhaul and get the game to start, the squished text happens with all exe files too.

Am I just missing something incredibly obvious or is there actually something wrong I have no control over?

I probably should've mentioned that I am using the Steam version of the game.
I also have adjusted the install directory as mentioned in the tutorial.

[EQ2Alyza]

The game version never matters so long as you're using the game converter properly. Post the FF7_GC. log, along with screenshots of your paths in Workshop -> Settings.

Are you launching the game from within 7H?

[TheBloodyScreen]

Yes I am lunching the game from within 7H.

So I guess I just won't be able to mod FFVII then...

[Tsuna]

How come it's "Outlawed Steam Games"? Is it a legit copy?

[TheBloodyScreen]

Because it can't live where the other steam games live and I'm not funny.
Yes it is a legit copy.

[Tsuna]

Okay. Sorry I had to ask just in case. Rules and all. Yeah I'm out of ideas for now then. Only time I see that is if the game is cracked and if the modpath isn't textures.

[Covarr]

How come it's "Outlawed Steam Games"? Is it a legit copy?

I initially thought the same thing, but since it's poor form to put FF7 into Program Files, it seemed pretty likely that this was just a second library put somewhere it wouldn't have problems. Glad to see it confirmed.
