Chessbase problem

[Graham Kerr]

Hi everyone

Little bit of technical expertise required again I'm afraid

My Chessbase figurine fonts have gone a bit wonky after installing CB on a new laptop (a Slovakian laptop if that might make a difference to what follows).

It seems to read some of the pieces correctly (knight, rook and pawn) but the others have been replaced with silly little symbols.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't output the games as they are which is a serious problem.

I have take a screenshot, but not sure how to upload it here so you can actually see what I'm talking about.

Cheers,
Andy Burnett

I've had similar problems in the past Andy, but it's usually something quite simple...
Digging into memory banks, are you getting things like a Japanese Yen sign (¥)?
If so, go into File/options (or click on the red spanner at the top), check in the language tab that it is set to English, also check in the Notation tab that the font is set as required. From memory, sometimes just changing the font then changing it back again can right the mishap...

Have you installed any other programs that come with Font packs?
