I've been using Notepad++ for a number of years and am now beginning to work with Chinese characters. However, I can not get the characters to display correctly in npp. I have updated my version to the latest Unicode version, but am not having any luck.
What I have tried:
- Creating a new document and setting the encoding to UTF-8, UTF-8 w/out Byte Order Mark, saving the doc, then pasting text in from another doc.
- Opening an existing doc in Chinese
Any help would be greatly appreciated
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Does the font which is used to view ordinary text support chinese ideograms? If it doesn't, then you won't see anything usable.
Go to Highlighter configuration, and change the font face for the Default style element of the Global Style "language". If this doesn't work, and if checkboxes in the Global Override style element are checked, then change the font face there, since it would be the one applied.

Thanks CChris,
That fixed the character display.
