Hi,
I have this problem, the characters are not displayed correctly in the text fields when I create a virtual machine. Instead of digits only show special characters

Re: Virtualbox on Win10 - Error display font in textbox
That looks unusual!
Please try rebooting your host PC so no Virtualbox processes are running.
Now go to C:\Users\{you}. There is a folder called '.Virtualbox' (note the period in the name). Move '.Virtualbox' to your desktop.
Now start Virtualbox. The guest list will be empty, but don't worry, your guests will still be there ready to use. Try to make a guest. Do the unusual characters still appear?

Re: Virtualbox on Win10 - Error display font in textbox
I try rebooting my host PC and nothing, the unussual characters still appears.
I reinstall the Virtualbox 6.1 and virtualbox 5.2.36 and i have the same problem in both versions
The virtual machine is working, but i have to try many times to configure it correctly, because i have to try several times to set the correct memory size.
Please send me another solutions

I see no indication that you tried the one I suggested:Kerberosk2k wrote:Please send me another solutions
I do see that you tried your own idea:scottgus1 wrote:go to C:\Users\{you}. There is a folder called '.Virtualbox' (note the period in the name). Move '.Virtualbox' to your desktop.
Now start Virtualbox
If the problem exists in the data file that is common to all versions and persistent through reinstalls and up & down-grades, then reinstalling and upgrading or downgrading would not fix the issue. Thus no suggestion was made to reinstall or up/downgrade.Kerberosk2k wrote:I reinstall the Virtualbox 6.1 and virtualbox 5.2.36 and i have the same problem in both versions

I tried all the instructions, but the numbers continue appearing as i show in the initial post.
Searching in the internet I discovered that the characters are the same numbers but in arabic
