Hello,

 

I have been using Vpilot from release but the other day i launched it up and it shows this for numbers

 

[1m:18:mt] I have no idea why

 

It use to be [15:18:21]

 

It changes numbers for letters.

 

Any help would be great

Does that happen only with the timestamps on each message, or does it also happen for numbers contained within the messages?

It happens with everything all the text is fine but when I put certain numbers on it changed it to letters.

 

Only happens on vpilot windows and other program's are good

What font do you have selected in the vPilot settings? (A screenshot of the settings tab where the fonts are specified would be helpful.)

The settings look fine ... can you post a screenshot that shows the numbers changing to letters? Please show it happening in both the message timestamps and within the message itself. And notate what numbers should be appearing instead of the letters.

The text at the bottom is me putting in 123456789 as you can see it changes on some but not all.

What's strange is that your settings window shows Microsoft Sans Serif as the message font, but the font appears to actually be Courier New.

 

Have you tried using a different font?

Does changing the messages font have any effect on the actual font?

I'm afraid I have no clue what might cause that.

For next step, Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling.
