Vista Japanese Problem

Post by Nomi »

Hi.
First time posting so please be kind :)

My friend has been trying to play TMW on his Vista in Japanese with no success.

As you can see, the most parts are just blank squares.
It is still the same result with or without the translation files if it makes any difference.
He did create a character but it just crashes while loading the game.

Does anyone here play TMW on Vista in Eastern Asian language successfully?
Any help is much appreciated.

I think the problem is that the font file we use doesn't include japanese characters.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Most likely. Can your fried try it with the font file replaced with one that does have them?

Thanks, I will pass the message.

One more question,
Would he still need the font file replaced if he wants to run it in English?
I did a quick search before posting and I understand it runs on OS's language,
but is there any way to force it to run in English?
There are a lot of software out there which do not have Japanese language setting,
but they still run in English on Japanese OS.
I have only limited knowledge on PC so I apologize in advance if my question does not make any sense.

Many thanks.
