Chessbase problem

[andyburnett]

Have you checked that all of the required fonts are actually installed?

They certainly seem to be and I can access the character maps for them

Have you checked that the language is set to English?
Did you install from an account with Admin privilege?

Yes and yes (as far as I am aware!)

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...

I'm getting a few strange symbols showing in the CB 'Options-Notation-Figurine' window. Half of the pieces (R, N and p) show correctly as chess characters, the others (K, Q and B) as ˘ Ł Ą respectively
Tried as you suggested Graham but it made no difference

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

I installed MS Office 365 an hour or 2 before I installed ChessBase (actually, it could have been an hour or 2 AFTER if this might be critical?)
