Windows 10: Why are fonts in Chinese in the Weather App?

Why are fonts in Chinese in the Weather App? I un-installed and re-installed the app three times over and still the fonts are in Chinese. Dang Microsoft. What the hell!

:)

 

Ovi Store Not Compatible with Chinese Fonts

If you've replaced/overriden the default/system fonts with your own, and some applications no longer work, then the fonts - evidently - cause problems for said app.



As this is probably not something that Nokia supports, fixing it is most likely not high on Nokia's list of priorities, as from Nokia's point of view, the solution is: Do not install such fonts (or uninstall any that you have installed).



To get supported Chinese fonts, you'd need to get a device with Chinese language and font support in the firmware. Nokia isn't selling any phones with Chinese support in Canada, though, so for a supported phone you'd need to import the phone from a Chinese
speaking region (such as Singapore, Hong Kong or Taiwan) yourself.



All I can suggest is:

- Don't use self-installed Chinese fonts, if you also need to use Ovi Store, or

- Try to find other Chinese language fonts, that the Ovi Store app might be happy with, or

- Live without Ovi Store, if having Chinese support is of higher priority to you, or

- Get an N8 manufactured with Chinese support in the firmware



In addition, you can of course report this issue to Nokia Customer Care, and maybe Nokia will address this in a future Ovi Store release, or a future firmware release for the N8. Not very likely, though, so the above suggestions are more likely your only
options.

 

Weather app icon in Chinese?

I just tried to launch mine for the first time since upgrading - a blue box- then it closed.

I had to re-register it. Whether (or weather?) that will help in your case... you can try it.

(search for weather and choose instructions above as appropriate).

Some of the characters in your screenshot are not Chinese characters, of course.
