Missing Signal Post on Display

Oh that is odd, you also appear to be missing the arrows used for exit buttons and lines used for rendering tunnels and boxes.

As a first step, check that both SimSig.fon and SimSigv2.fon are present in the directory C:\Windows\Fonts. If either is missing, try reinstalling SimSig.

On the attched picture is what the fonts maybe listed as under windows, the default for windows now seems not to display the .fon file but the fonts that each .fon can display

As you are able to start the loader and load a sim it seems unlikely that the fonts are missing, as if SimSigv2.fon is missing the loader won't start (as discussced here).

I went to the link and downloaded the font manually and installing it. Still the problem existed. Missing font is now out of the question.

Also tried reinstalling SimSig with antivirus/windows defender turned off as suggested by the thread. However, still missing the signal post.

If you went into the fonts folder and those 5 fonts highlighted are there, then the fonts were never missing and also you had been able to start a sim on the loader so that would indicate that at least SimSigv2.fon was there.

What version of the loader are you using, what version of windows are you on as well, (if windows 10 can you please state version) and is it just the brighton sim that is having this issue.

Have you gone to the Font folder and confirmed the fonts are there as highlighted in the picture I attached above

They are there but somehow have different names. Your font has "Regular" on them, while my font has "Standard" on them. For ex "SIMSIGv2 Standard" instead of "SIMSIGv2 Regular". Does it have something to do with it?

To check whether it is something specific to your hardware or software, can you post a saved game so that someone else can load it and see if it renders correctly. That might help to start narrowing down the problem.

Hi everybody, I've finally found what the problem is.

I ran the 'charmap' and found that the 0x80 character and beyond are blank. So I checked on the internet and found that the one causing it was the "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" was checked. Deactivate it, and the problem is solved.

Thank you for all your support
