How to display chinese characters in IGO 8.3

Mon Sep 06, 2010 8:24 am

I have Igo 8.3 running with a Taiwan map, although the map is mostly English a lot of info is in Chinese, which is only showing squares, very annoying. I tried already to find a solution trough google and forums but untill today i'm still seeing squares... can anyone help me ?? :unknw_mini:

You probably need the Chinese language file that goes into content\languages. Sorry I don't have it.

The problem is the character set. iGO uses Tahoma and TahomaBd, in these character sets the chinese characters are not included.
You have to look for a set (ttf) with chinese characters, rename this sets to Tahoma and replace in the the igo directory.
