Tk appearing in Chinese font

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Anyone else seen this?

When I distribute a Tk app built using pp (ActiveState v5.8.6 - Tk::VERSION 804.027) to a PC which doesn't have Perl installed, the app shows only Chinese characters.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

I have a suspicion the post we both found is on the right track... It feels like maybe the encoding is being set by perl, and when perl isn't available the error that is returned is being interpreted as Chinese. I wonder if there is a way to specify a specific encoding for Tk...	[reply]
