Japanese characters not not properly shown in Shape Node (of Diagram)

Hello,
I am trying to make flow diagram where text on any shape node can be in Japanese language.
But text of Japanese characters are not properly displayed on shape nodes.
I have gone through one of threads of this forum suggesting that I should use "Arial Unicode MS" instead of "Arial" or I should set StringFormatFlags.NoFontFallback flag in TextFormat.FormatFlags

I tried both but unfortunately that didn't work for me.

Hi,

Setting the Unicode MS font worked for me. It might be installed by MS Office though (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_Unicode_MS), so you'd have to look for a different font containing glyphs if you don't have it. E.g. use the Character Map tool to see which of your fonts contain Japanese characters. This SO topic suggests Lucida Sans Unicode -

Thank you very much for providing straight forward direction. Actually in my computer "Arial MS Unicode" was not even there. For now I have working thing with "MS UI Gothic" . But now I'm worried if any of my user's computer don't  have this font !!

Hi,

Maybe select one of these lists -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typefaces_included_with_Microsoft_Windows
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CJK_fonts

MS UI Gothic is listed as shipped with all versions of Windows from XP onwards.
