Sometimes my font looks like boxes instead of text. Why? The Second Life<sup>&reg;</sup> Viewer supports multiple languages. Some, including many East Asian languages, are displayed using double byte language fonts. If you see boxes on your screen rather than East Asian language characters, you may need to enable the East Asian Language pack in your operating system.
