I imagine a lot of people find it to be so.\r\n\r\nHow can I change the language to English? Please, pretty please?\r\n\r\nI found some advice here  \r\nhttp://portableapps.com/news/2013-01-02--fontforge-portable-2012-07-31-released \r\n\r\n\"The app itself is trying to display in Russian but your PC doesn't support showing in Russian for some reason. The language you select as it installs is only used by the installer, not the app. I think (but am not sure) the app detects the OS language and attempts to use that. But it likely cannot display Unicode characters. Is your Windows set to be in Russian? If so, I think that it is. In theory, FontForge is supposed to respect the LANG environment variable, so you should be able to edit your FontForgePortable.ini file within the FontForgePortable\\App\\AppInfo\\Launcher directory and add the line:\r\n\r\nLANG=en_GB\r\n\r\nright after the HOME=%PAL:DataDir%\\Home line in the Environment section. Note that it could be en or en_EN instead of en_US. But, it did not seem to work for me. It might for you.\r\nbut I don't know what to do\" \r\n\r\nI don't know where to find this files I should change and obviously the program doesn't respect OS language settings in my case.\r\nLooking for help I found other people with similar problem (FontForge choose the language they don't use or don't know) but I didn't find any fix."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/fontforge/fontforge/issues/comments/107098822","html_url":"https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2190#issuecomment-107098822","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2190","id":107098822,"user":{"login":"larsenwork","id":3859425,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3859425?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork","html_url":"https://github.com/larsenwork","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/larsenwork/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-30T23:25:11Z","updated_at":"2015-05-30T23:25:11Z","body":"Did you fix the issue?
