Hi,
I've started using the new classes in the Includes directory of MQL4 for my EA, particularly the CLabel class.
One problem I'm facing is that on my computer (running windows 7 Professional), I can add text to the CLabel object that is e.g. Russian and on my computer it will display the text as proper Russian. But if I have a friend of mine run the same EA on his computer (which is a laptop bought in Moscow that says "Windows 8.1 for one language") then the text comes out as question marks.
We've checked that his setting for non-unicode programs is set to russian (control panel -> region -> administrative -> locale) and his formats are also russian (control panel -> region -> formats -> format).
Anyone else ever had this problem and got a solution for it? Is my friend perhaps missing specific fonts that my Windows 7 Professional has by default?
