4. When garbled Chinese characters appear, the above content may be incomplete like in my system." The content under "Associated CharSet" is incomplete, and there is no content at all under "Associated DefaultFonts".

At this time, you can open the "Edit" menu in the "Registry Editor" to make repairs: ⑴ If "Associated CharSet" and "Associated DefaultFonts" are missing, you can use "Edit/New/Primary Key" under "fontassc" to create a " New Key #1" text box, and then enter the key name in the box according to the method of naming the file; ⑵ If "Associated CharSet" and "Associated DefaultFonts" are complete, but their content is missing, you can use "Edit/New/ String" to create a "New Value #1", and then enter the key name. After double-clicking the key name, you can enter the corresponding key value in the "Edit String" dialog box; after restarting, the Chinese character garbled characters can be eliminated
