Windows 10: Language Bar Display

The language bar only displays 3 squares when Thai keyboard is used.
How to get it to display properly?







In Windows 7 it is displayed properly or (TH)

The language that is not enabled in the system is displayed in the language bar

"Input Indicator" keeps turning off

No, its not working.

Also, 'Use the desktop language bar when it's available' should not be checked because that is the main setting responsible for displaying language bar. It's still not working for me.

 

Looks like Thai font wasn't properly installed when installing language. Does Thai works normally otherwise?

Try reinstalling Thai language, or check in optional features.

 

Have reinstalled. Same thing.
Changing between input llanguages works fine as well as typing.





Only language bar display looks weired

 

Try checking system files (running "sfc /scannow" in elevated command prompt).

Did you install supplemental fonts in Settings / Apps / Manage optional features?

 

Have not installed any additional fonts.
Typing in Thai works in Notepad, Word and browser (Chrome) searches.
If I try naming a folder in thai I get squares only.
Don't need full language packs only basic typing.

 

You could try to install Thai language pack (complete) and then revert back to English display.

Only found this in MS forums (social.technet.microsoft.com):

Edit: did you change any system fonts with Winaero (or similar)?

 

Have made a fresh install and now everything is working.
Thanks for your help

 

*Thumbs Now, when everything is working, make a backup image. Macrium reflect free is easy to use and used by many here...

 

I have used Macrium for the last 3-4 years. Very good.
What was actually missing was the thai font Leelawadee.
Just installed that font on another PC and got everything working there as well without a fresh install!

 

@fyrekrig thanks for posting back about solution.
Can you provide some details about font installation - what is the file name, so others could find it and download? To help other users in future. If I understood you correctly, you have had this problem on multiple computers?

 

I use WinReducer to minimize the OS footprint. Deleting features I am not likely to use.So I delete most languages, keyboards, fonts, etc and all MetroApps and reduce the size of the inflated WinSxS folder. My Windows system folder is 2.6 GB and all works perfectly. Used this way of installing Windows since early days ofWindows7 so I have some experience.
Sometimes I go too far and delete something that I might use in the future so I just make another WinReducer ISO with the feature intact. In this case I suspected a Thai font was missing so I included Leelawadee in a new ISO image. The Thai font Leelawadee is included in the standard Windows 10 ISO. After the new install worked I copied Leelawadee.ttf from the Font directory and put on another PC and installed it (right click on the font file/Install) and now the language bar display looks as expected on all our six PC's.
