Designer doesn't support Chinese well

also, just for clarification, do these characters show up fine on 7.9? If so, are you using Oracles JRE? We bundle a ton of fallback fonts with the runtime we ship, however we do not include CJK versions due to the file size for each individual font. for Locales that require these glyphs you will likely have to install those fonts HERE .

Yes, they show up fine on 7.9 with Oracles JRE1.8.0_201.

I downloaded NotoSansCJKsc fonts and installed them by double-click. But the problem still exists. And I restarted the gateway service, uninstalled and reinstalled the designer launcher, uninstalled and reinstalled Ignition 8.0. But it still didn't work.

I think maybe I should put these font files in a directory instead of just installing them. So I found a directory named "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\runtime\jre-win\lib\fonts" where contains serveral .ttf files as well as the directory "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\lib\runtime\jre-win\lib\fonts\fallback". I'm not sure if I should put the NotoSansCJKsc fonts there because I found it still didn't work when I did this.

One more thing, what I download is the otf edition as there is no ttf edition for the NotoSansCJKsc fonts. So I'm totally confused.
