I can't change the language to english in the preferences menu. Now it's in a 'i don't know what language'

Attached you'll find a screenshot of my settings.

Rebooting, re-installing doesn't work.

note: everytime i update my OS, i have always problems with the kernel driver, but i've been able to manage this.
The language problem occured randomly without an update.

Can someone give me a solution?

It seems like a font problem on your OS X host (BTW, what is your host running exactly?). Did you install any fonts or programs lately?

Try the following command from the terminal and attach the "output" file named 'fontlist.zip', so that I can compare it with mine and/or a typical OS X installation:

  fc-list | sort > fontlist.txt ; zip fontlist.zip fontlist.txt ; rm fontlist.txt

Sorry for the late post, but i don't have access in the weekends.

I'm running windows xp sp 3. I used VB 4.2, now 4.3. Sometimes if i open my VB, it seems to be ok. It's not all time.

I have this problem since a few months, but it didn't bother, untill i had the problem with my kernel driver every time i update my OS. So, no programs were exactly installed lately.
I have suitcase fusion and sometimes i receive pdfs with such a language or font. Before this problem i never had any problems with my fonts or however.

Btw i tried your command line, but it doesn't work

iMac-Tim:~ tim$ fc-list | sort > fontlist.txt ; zip fontlist.zip fontlist.txt ; rm font
adding: fontlist.txt (deflated 90%)
rm: font: No such file or directory
iMac-Tim:~ tim$ fc-list | sort > fontlist.txt ; zip fontlist.zip fontlist.txt ; rm font
updating: fontlist.txt (deflated 90%)
rm: font: No such file or directory
iMac-Tim:~ tim$

FWIW, the command was… not

That's because it is truncated. I tried to put the whole thing in one line, but ... hey...
Try the following (commands are "broken" into one-liners):

  fc-list | sort > fontlist.txt
  zip fontlist.zip fontlist.txt
  rm fontlist.txt

which basically 1) generates a list of fonts in a file called "fontlist.txt", 2) zips that file to "fontlist.zip" and 3) deletes the "fontlist.txt" file so it doesn't bother you. Attach the "fontlist.zip" file.

Thank you.

The problem seems to be solved. I did an upgrade to VB 5. Normally i try this before going to a forum, but it wasn't working before i installed El Captain. So i thought neh..

Anyway here is my fontlist. i think it's the one before the upgrade.

Maybe there was a font-cache problem which got auto-magically resolved.
