Textractor showing symbols instead of Japanese characters #1295

Closed Tenskin closed 1 month ago

Tenskin commented 1 month ago

Hello,

I'm trying to use textractor to read visual novels, but the japanese characters are replaced by gibberish and I don't know how to solve the issue.

I know that #906 and (some other previous posts) are about the same issue, but I have no clue about how to solve this as I don't know how to apply the solutions suggested in the previous posts.

I don't know if I need to install a new font (let alone how to do it), if the problem is from my Windows settings or if the Tractor software is the one that has an issue. Can somebody help me with this? I have very little knowledge about programming so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help Blu3train, but my antivirus keeps preventing me from using the 86x version dll. Anyway to prevent that from happening?

Tenskin commented 1 month ago

I seem to have found a way to avoid the problem with my antivirus by downloading the file from MicrosoftEdge.

It's weird, now textractor doesn't seem to respond if I try attaching it to a VN. Guess I'll need to reinstall everything...

If you read the notes in the post of the release of texthook.dll I report the warning which could be recognized as a false positive

You need to do an antivirus exclusion on the textractor folder so that the antivirus does not check the files in that folder. If you search online for how to create a folder exclusion with your antivirus you should have no problem finding the information.

Yeah I saw it, still I didn't know how to get around the problem. Seems like MicrosftEdge does have its uses afterall. I resintalled Textractor a couple of times and installed the new dll, then I changed the local like you recommended and now everything works like a charm.

Thank you!

P.S.: a weird thing is that prior to last installation I have to reinstall everything because the dll disappeared. However, I restarted my PC and now it doesn't seem to do it. Thank you again.
