Anyone maybe know how to fix the text in this game? ive often see this issue while playing old japan vn game

Looks like a line of text that hasn't been translated from original Japanese, and you don't have a font for Japanese script. If that's what it is, the only "fix" I know of would still have it in um... Kanji? I think? Been a LONG time since I messed with trying to play a Japanese game that required I change my locale from native English to Japanese...
That's what you get when trying to run a game using "Shift-JIS" encoding on a non-japanese windows environment.
history lesson:
Shift-JIS was the dominant standard for encoding japanese characters all the way till mid 2000s. Unicode wasn't the main encoding in japanese windows until Windows7 came out. Older software will only work if windows is running with a japanese locale.
you can do two things:
- set your whole windows OS environment to Japanese locale(which will fuck other stuff up)
- use
