Hi,
I just got my new laptop with vista home edition.
my vista is in english and hebrew as a second language (i'm from Israel).
i install xnview and i can't see hebrew fonts in the folder name or file name, all i see is '?' instead of the hebrew fonts.
more than that, when i try to get into a folder that have hebrew fonts i just can't, and if i open a file from my computer,
that he's inside fodler with hebrew fonts i get an error message that the xnview can't open the file.
i can read and write hebrew in all other programs that i have but only in xnview not.
can someone help me on that ?
Thanks,
Shally

XnView doesn't support unicode

but it does work fine on my both pc's (one with XP and one with VISTA), so it seems like it does support unicode.
the problem is only on my laptop.
i remember i had that problem before on one of my PC and i fix it, i just don't remember how...

Windows explorer will use the same font as xnview. If it works in explorer and not in xnview, there's some weirdness in your system.

It could also be that xnview, or your whole system, is set to a code page that doesn't display extended ascii characters correctly.
