Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You run a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3-based run-time image on a device.
-
The image includes at least one East Asian font set. For example, the image includes MS Mincho, MS Gothic, or MS UI Gothic.
-
You set Japanese, Chinese, or Korean as the default system locale.
-
You enable the ClearType feature by setting the ClearType registry subkey in the following path to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI
In this scenario, East Asian characters appear garbled.
Cause
This issue occurs because different ClearType feature statuses are opened for base fonts and for linked fonts.
