Problem

When using files that contain Asian characters and using some fonts in Printing Informations and Statistics, then the file is displayed in square boxes inside the Print layout.

Reason

This issue typically involves text in Middle East or Asian languages (Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, etc.). On Windows 10 desktops, this issue typically involves text in languages other than the languages for which that system is configured.

One of the most comprehensive Unicode fonts for Windows is Microsoft’s Arial Unicode MS. However, the size of the font is 14 megabytes, which can restrict downloading for users with slower connections. 



Solution

Copy the font Arial Unicode MS inside the Layout source folder and change the font source inside the TJB of the Layout.
