Red Notebook displays only squares

Hello everyone,

I have been using Red Notebook for many years and I enjoy the program very much. However, since a couple of months I wasnt able to use it at all. All text is now displayed as squares and I dont know why. I tried reinstalling RN but that didnt help.

My background information:

I am running RN from a USB-Stick using Portable RN (https://portableapps.com/apps/office/rednotebook_portable)
The version I am running is 2.3.
I use Windows 7 with all updated patches.
Other portable apps work just fine.
I dont have that problem with any other program.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? When I click on search items, I can find my entries, so the data seems to be there, but instead of the text... squares only.

I already asked the same question over at the Red Notebooks forum and they asked me to try the non-portable Version of the software. That one works fine, but I would love to get the portable version to work as well. Any ideas?

Thank you for your attention and your dedication to this nice program!

Full Path?

What's the full path to your RedNotebookPortable install? I tested it out on a clean updated Windows 7 VM and it ran without issue. RedNotebook has some odd internal font handling and if it can't find the font the UI is set to, it will show up as squares.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
