Problem: In LabVIEW 8.6, I've noticed that when I type in Russian, Hebrew, Arabic and so on, my fonts don't get displayed properly or I get an error. This worked properly in previous versions of LabVIEW. Why is this happening now? Solution: This is a known issue with LabVIEW 8.6 for all languages that do not use the Windows 1252 codepage or an IME for input. Text written in these languages (Russian, Hebrew, Arabic etc.) display correctly in previous versions of LabVIEW. However, in LabVIEW 8.6, the text either displays incorrectly or produces an error about Unicode characters. This behavior was caused due to the mixing up of Unicode and ANSI versions of the Windows API calls within the message handling call stack. LabVIEW uses a custom message handler and the conversions were not being handled properly. Correcting this Problem:You can download and distribute for free the LabVIEW 8.6f1 patch from the Drivers and Updates pages in the Related Links section of this document.
