I have a Windows 7 x64. I noticed, that in some applications I have squares instead of Asian languages characters. E.g. in MS Word, in Chrome, in Skype ideographs look fine. I also installed Japanese language pack. It works fine too and I'm able to typing in Japanese.
But in AIMP, file explorer (in particular, folders names) and Notepad++ (text file is encoded to UTF-8) I have only squares. And the problem in general exists with Asian ideographs and some other characters:
E.g. ™, ▲, ¼ looks fine, but ℍ, ①, ︷ are also displayed as squares.
I know, tht this is not the first same question, and I've found 2 possible solutions:
Control Panel --> All Control Panel Items --> Fonts --> Font settings
Hide fonts based on language settings - disable it.
Hide fonts based on language settings is disabled, but problem still exists.
Change the system locale.
But I don't think it's a pretty good. My current system locale is Russian, and I think, even if I would fix the problem with Asian languages, I could have some problems with Russian instead.
So, is there another solution? How can I fix it?
