When you say US Client, where have you downloaded it?

Join Today!The bug you mention is caused by the fact that you probably use the TH desc.iff (which means using items ingame will crash you back to the desktop). It's caused by characters that cannot be displayed correctly.
If you clean up the desc.iff file or use the one from the US client you should be okay. I'm using Arial and Verdana from the US client and they work fine.
Ok, i've done that, everything was working fine until caddie leveled.
Everytime it started talking the game crashed...
I'm pretty sure that was 'cause of the font, cuz with the ugly one this didn't happen.
Are you using the 6kb arial one? Cuz this one also crashed when i opened the Options.
Ah well, if your is working fine, would you be able to share it? ><
a22345875, I get the same result as in your screenshot. I've tried varying the encoding but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
After doing some digging the problem seems to be that the big5 encoding (note: I assume Taiwan is also using big5 encoding) uses 16 bits, while Thailand's codepage 874 apparently uses only 8 bits per character. Since big5 has a number of 8 bit ranges as well (namely the ASCII ones), those characters do work while the 16bit-long characters get split in the middle and interpreted as 2 8bit-long ones, resulting in the garbage you see.
Simply replacing the fonts and altering the thailand.dat won't be enough to get this one to work, I'm afraid.
