Kriskerz Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I just upgraded to Windows 10, and now certain characters (fancy letters, smiley faces) won't show up in chat. not all of them, just a certain few. They show up as rectangles. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 What you describe means you don't have the appropriate fonts installed on your computer any more. The fix would, therefore, be to install the missing ones, but I can't really help you on how to go about identifying which fonts you're lacking.

Whirly Fizzle Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 This is a known bug on Windows 10 - https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-9759 Windows 10 moved the default font store location & the viewer doesn't know where to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 That doesn't seem like a bug at all. How do we close that Jira? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmooples Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 For annyone using Windows 10 and wants to know how to get CJK characters to appear in SL. here's how do do it. Go to Settings/System Display,notifications,apps,power. go to Apps and features, click Manage Optional Features, then click Add a feature, and install all of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean options. logout of SL and when you login they should show up instead of the little squares.

It also facilitates spam from the whole of the Far East. Alec - warning the naive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
