Display chinese characters on Windows XP

My WPF application needs to display chinese characters.

Things work perfectly when running on Windows 7.

However, when running the exact same application on Windows XP, the UI shows a series on squares instead of the chinese characters.

In both cases, no chinese system package was install开发者_开发知识库ed.

Do you have any suggestion?

You will need to install fonts that can display Chinese glyphs, not present by default. IIRC, Control Panel + Regional and Languages Options, Language tab, Install files for East Asian languages checkbox. Ask at superuser.com if you need more help.

There's no issue with .net or XP. The problem is with the font. You need to make sure that you are using a font which contains all the glyphs that you wish to display.
