Sudden encoding problems

Hi,
All of a sudden my Atlantis is having encoding problems with Cyrillic. They appear only in Power Type list and also when the app tries to extract file name from document.

The weird part is that everything was fine before I updated the driver of my Radeon card but I don't know if this is the reason. I was using Atlantis 2.0.6 and after that issue appeared I tried the latest version but no luck.

This really drives me crazy as I don't understand what exactly caused the problem. I don't have other encoding issues with my Windows 10 installation. I even reverted to the previous driver version but that didn't helped.

I have just installed the Bulgarian keyboard layout and the Bulgarian spellchecker to my system. I cannot reproduce any problem with Bulgarian texts. Obviously, something must have changed in your system that triggered this problem. But I cannot say what exactly. Regrettably I do not have much to suggest on this.

It might help to check, and maybe change, your system locale. Have a look at Windows 10 Notepad opens txt files with Cyrillic text as garbage:

It turned out that the problem was caused by me changing my System Locale to USA. This caused programs that don't support Unicode (not only Notepad) to be unable to display cyrilic symbols. To fix it, do the following:
Control Panel - Clock, Language, and Region - Region - Administrative - Change system locale.
Then set it to whatever region you live in. This fixed it for me.

It's Bulgarian but as I said this started suddenly and only shows in Power Type suggestions and Save dialog when app extracts file name from document. I don't have problems creating and opening documents in Cyrillic.

Maybe something happened to your Power Type file. What if you close Atlantis, move the following file to a different folder:

My documents\Atlantis\Spellcheck\Bulgarian.cache

then start Atlantis again?

But in any case, this does not explain the problems with the Save dialog.

I tried using Atlantis on removable media and deleted all in Spellcheck folder. Same thing happened.

I really don't know what to do anymore. At least the app works fine but I got so used to Power Type.

If you delete the Spellcheck folder, there would be no Power Type feature.

I suppose your document text is marked as "Bulgarian" (the status bar should say "Bulgarian").

Of course it is. I still don't know what caused this and why only in Atlantis.

Meanwhile I noticed something else - in one DOC file in Bulgarian I got rectangle with question mark instead of –. When I saved the file as RTF and reopen it everything was fine but other issues with PowerType still exist.
