    Windows 10: zipping files with name/content in non-Latin characters


    In Windows 7, I can zip files with Hebrew names by using "send to compressed folder".
    In Windows 10 I receive an error message saying that the file has characters which cannot be used in compressed folders. I received it for files with names in Hebrew, but also for those with names in Latin characters but content in Hebrew. Is there any remedy?
    Thank you all.

    :)

    Deleting non-Latin fonts in Windows 10 Home


    non-Latin = characters from other alphabets, such as Thai or Arabic

    Non-Latin fonts:
    Batang
    Mangal
    Meriyo
    ming LiU
    Ya-Hei
    SimSun
    SimHei
    SimKai
    Urdu
    Traditional Arabic

    The list goes on. All of these came pre-installed with Win 10. Most are grayed out, which should indicate they are 'hidden', but they ALL still show on EVERY program that allows font choices.

    Chinese Character in Names of Zipped Files

    Hi,

    I'm a translator and get sent a lot of files containing Chinese characters in the file name. If these files are sent to me in a zip folder, the file names get all messed up, e.g. "╩╘╥δ─┌╚▌--┼⌐╙ε└½.doc", after unzipping. Is there some way to stop this from
    happening? Do I need to update the language settings on my device perhaps?

    In addition, I cannot seem to zip files that contain Chinese characters. Again, given my job this is quite frustrating as I have to use a service like WeTransfer instead of simply zipping files to email to clients. Is this something I can fix?

    Many thanks!

    Windows 10: zipping files with name/content in non-Latin characters

    Deleting non-Latin fonts in Windows 10 Home


    Thanks for the suggestion, but, sadly, it does not. In addition, I have gone to the Font Management setting and followed Microsoft's directions explicitly. Win 10 will NOT let me delete any installed font (except ones that I have installed myself), and it will NOT let me hide any font at all. The 'Hide' setting says it will hide the font from applications, but EVERY application that offers a choice of fonts, whether from Microsoft (Office, Word, Wordpad, Notepad, etc.) or third parties (such as OpenOffice) shows ALL the fonts listed in the Font Management listing. Every. Single. One.

    There was a script for removing the non-Latin fonts from Win 7 that automated the process. That script does not work in Win 10. Is there one that does?

    Thanks in advance for any help/
