fonts change - unreadable

[Asia Floyd]

Hello!

I've been experiencing some weird behaviour of fonts: when I download a file with some diacritics in its name, the characters change into totally unreadable ones. I started a few months ago, I think. I tried to google it, but either I cannot ask the question properly, or the problem is rare.

An example: możliwości -> możliwości.

I also had a problem with utf-8 in text files' content, also with diacritics - the files seemed not to see them, even if the file was saved as utf-8. Not sure, it might be related somehow

Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to change language for non-Unicode programs? Here is how-to.
Set it to Polish and restart your computer.

(Blame google translate if language in your example was not Polish)

Thanks!

Thank you, I tried it yesterday and unfortunately it didn't work (yes, I did restart the system )
And yes, uncle Google is right this time. It's about Polish. I checked all the language configurations I saw in the control panel, nothing seems to address the problem. The system's language is English, but I haven't experienced this issue earlier... weird. Maybe it's some virus, I'm checking it now...

back to default

...oh, and it messed up other programs - 'install the program again'. So I changed it back to English locale.

Have you tried a system restore to a point before this started?

Did you run the malware/virus scans? If so what was the result?

Have you tried running a sfc/scannow file check? Heres a link in case you haven't :http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
