A Strange Problem: East Asian Language Pack and TOME

[Chex Warrior]

Hello all, I recently discovered TOME (2.3.5) and as an ex-ADOM player I am really excited about playing it more, however I have a weird problem:

I am an East Asian major and study Chinese, which means I need the East Asian Language Pack installed on Win XP to read and complete various assignments, this wasn't a problem until I decided to download TOME. It seems that when the Language pack is installed TOME displays no graphics except a small yellow rectangle which moves about the screen whenever I press enter, but when I uninstall the language pack I can play TOME with no problem. Is there anyway I can have both TOME and the language pack on my computer at the same time?

I appreciate any advice, thanks.

I am not really sure, maybe try to either click the bizarre display option in the window menu, or try changing the font used.

This will happen to angband and all it's variants, at times. I brought it up to current primary vanilla dev once, he said it only affected windows users and wasn't interested in fixing it.

It isnt related to the lang pack, I have it installed and was just playing tome earlier.

I appreciate the responses, I'll keep trying to figure it out.

UPDATE: Escapee you seem to be magic, now I can play TOME with the lang pack, very strange, but I'm not complaining.

I guess I should have mentioned, you can fix this by rebooting or just selecting a different font size within the menu.

Sounds like another instance of this issue:

I have my machine set to Japanese as the default codepage. Amongst other problems (the problem you're describing has something to do with the FILENAMES of the font files -- sometimes windows refuses to unlock the file upon closing, and your only recourse is to reboot or change th font) is the ascii bug. Non-standard Codepages having weird High Ascii tables. This causes the high ascii characters in the default pref-win file to not appear -- which is bad, cause that includes things such as ice or magma. Renaming font-win to font-win.old and copying font-x11 over to pref-x11 fixes it by changing all the high ascii characters to low ascii ones:
