'Unicode Font Substitution' message when Installing first time
Question: When I install RDSS2 the first time on a computer, I get a weird message about ' Unicode Font Substitution' every time - then RDSS loads and runs OK. How do I get rid of it?
Answer: Close RDSS2, right-click on the RDSS2 Desktop icon and choose "Run as administrator" from the pop-up menu. A Windows setting re fonts gets made, and the message never recurs.
UPDATE: Please Note -- it is not recommended to ALWAYS run RDSS as Administrator - just the once to take care of the above message regarding Unicode fonts.
That is - on the Properties window (from the right-click popup menu), on the Compatibility Tab, DON'T check the ' Run this program as an Administrator' box unless you have to in order to get it to work in unexpected circumstances. Running always as Administrator can have the bizarre side-effect of preventing RDSS when minimized to the Taskbar to Restore/Maximize again. Instead you'll need to Close and restart.
