Windows 10 Creators Update UNICODE Display issue

[icyyicee]

So I too jumped on to the Creators Update wagon when I first had the chance to.

 

All is great, though Microsoft did once again ticked some privacy options to ON where I've left them OFF. O well, it's Microsoft, I don't blame them too much for wanting to collect datas.

 

But then this happened:

 

 

 

I had a couple of portable softwares for images / PDF editing that had Simplified Chinese in them. I've noticed that some of them became unreadable.

 

I have checked on the system locale and yes it is still set to Simplified Chinese PRC.

 

Anyone knows what is causing these? And anything I can do fix it?

 

Sorry for the long post and any answer is much appreciated!

Looks like you are missing a font.

hmm interesting theory.

 

I just checked my fonts and it didn't seem the update has destroyed any Chinese font I had before.

Not that this'll help you a lot...but it seems to be a widespread problem, with all the people that have Unicode language set as their System Locale. 

 

There are several threads about it on the Microsoft Community (you may want to follow these to see if a fix is released or someone figures out a workaround.) See here, here and here.

This issue is now fixed!

Addressed issue where some non-Unicode fonts (Courier, MS Sans Serif, etc.) do not render characters correctly on non-Latin, single-byte system locales (Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). Black bars or other artifacts appear instead.
