Double byte characters are shown as squares
Hi everyone,
I have a strange issue in 11.0.5. On one machine I can see Japanese and Chinese normally, but on another I see them as squares.
Weird thing is that I don't remember changing anything and I know Japanese and Chinese used to display correctly on both machines.
What should I check? What setting?

thanks for help!

Re: Double byte characters are shown as squares
Hello,

You might want to change the font so that it can show Japanese and Chinese. If that doesn't help, please do this:

Using the Registry Editor (regedit.exe), please find the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EmSoft\EmEditor v3\Common

and insert a new REG_DWORD value called

UseUniscribe

as 1.

By default, this vaule is set to 0 (Windows Vista or 7), and 1 (Windows XP or earlier).

The only issue is that the Unicode Ideographic Variation Sequence (IVS) may not work when this value is 1.

I hope this helps.

Thank you!
