Some characters not displayed in the Language combo box

[hkly-1245]

Describe the bug

When the en_US locale is used, in the "Options" window then "Language" menu, some Select Box items for the "Languages:" option are not displayed correctly. This probably because of an encoding error.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Go to "Tools" menu -> click "Options"

In the Option window, Select "Language" item from the "Options" Select drop down.

In the "Language" form: click on the "Language" SelectBox, scroll to the bottom.

Expected behavior

For each locale, each item in the Language Select Box should be correctly encoded.

That's a problem with the font which is not able to render those characters. You might want to selected other font in the Display options panel (assuming the system has one that is able to render those characters, it works fine in macOS and Linux distros).

Might need to ensure use of composite fonts.

Does it explain why it's rendered correctly in other systems/fonts? If you select Arial in Windows the Kanji is no longer rendered while with the default font it is.

Hmm good question, I'm not sure.
