Dear Simon

I had the same problem. (My PC was in Korean language) I could solve the problem  by changing the language setting in control->clock, Language, and Region-> Region and Language.-> Administrative tab->system local to English. It is related to Unicode.

Hope it works

Hey Simon,

 

Try clicking on what would normally be labeled the "basic models" or even "batch" button. In the new batch editor window click "view" and then select "change font/font size". Select arial. Note - this should change the gui to a readable font for the duration that spm is opened but may not be a permanent fix (i.e. this "fix" may have to be done each time spm is loaded).

 

Cheers,

Subject:[SPM] Weird fonts in GUI

Hi all,

I'm teaching a course where we use SPM. On the laptop of one of my Chinese students the  buttons on the GUI only contains gibberish, most likely due to a missing font. See a screen dump here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/65o3spp0kda0icz/spm.PNG

Looking at the code for SPM it seems that the student has all the necessary fonts installed:

       helvetica: 'Arial Narrow'

        times: 'Times New Roman'

      courier: 'Courier New'

       symbol: 'Symbol'

Also, changing the fonts in the code does not seem to work.

Searching the archives I cannot find a solution.

Ideas?

Simon
