Font issue on Panda-EGG

Post by Jujube »

Hi

I'm trying out the Japanese version of Panda-EGG.

I've downloaded the Japanese language pack on Windows and set it as the active language so my Windows UI is in Japanese.

The Panda-EGG interface is in Japanese apart from the fonts on the GUI (buttons, etc), which are garbled. Probably an encoding issue?

Any tips?

Ok I figured it out. I'll keep the post here in the event anyone wants to run the application with the correct fonts.

Windows runs in a locale and doesn't cache the correct fonts when it loads applications if the locale is set to English (this is different from installing and using language packs).

I downloaded the free Locale Emulator here https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator/releases and it's as simple as navigating to the Panda-EGG file at C:\PANDA\EGG\Egg.exe and then you right-click the executable, then select Locale Emulator > Run In Japanese.
