Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/226

I used ScreenToGif not long before and I liked it all at once.
Today, I found a Chinese (Simplified) mistake when I was using it .
I want to enter is "处", but it is a wrong word that does not exist.
the right is 「夂卜」, the wrong is 「夂人」

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand.

Do you mean that the there's a wrong word in the Chinese (Simplified) translation or that while typing something on a text box inside the app, the wrong word appeared?

Not a bug actually.

The default font for Caption/Free Text is set to "Segoe UI", but this font doesn't contain Chinese characters, so every Chinese character will be forced using a "fallback" font, and causing this problem because... Asian things. (Same character has up to four different writing styles, Simp. Chinese/Trad. Chinese/Korean/Japanese, sometimes Windows will mess things up)

Simply change it to a font which supports Chinese characters (e.g. Microsoft Yahei), and it's "fixed" in no time.

Alright, workaround for this issue is to select a compatible font.
