Not seeing timers, stars etc (characters incorrect)

[bsimmo]

I am not seeing the sandtimers, stars and O that you show. I am seeing registered trademarks and upside-down ! characters i.e. ® and ¡ or there abouts.

UK English Windows 11

Thanks Ben

ok opened the project up Seems it is using Wingings but well not...

A quick fix is to set UseCompatibleTextRendiering = True the bit just under Text and TextAlign that is obscured.

This makes it work on the latest Win11 version.

A proper fix? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.label.usecompatibletextrendering?view=windowsdesktop-7.0

Also, the Warnings can be fixed, and it still works as it should. Change args to _1 Set the local functions and read onlys etc.

ok, leave wingdings behind it doesn't work anymore really.

So switch to Unicode. Leave compatibility off/False Switch to Arial (or otherwise) Use for example ⏳⌛✹ as characters and just need to find where that circle is done, guessing that is 6 in the code. found it, thank to Bing Chat ◯ either copy and paste them in, or use the codes U+0231B U+023F3 U+2729 U+25EF
