We have two Windows 7 machines. We installed Sigil on both. One Windows 7 home edition works fine and displays non-latin (specifically South Asian script) characters. The second apparently with similar configuration shows only squares in code view. Book view works fine (the epub uses embedded font).

First windows 7 machine that works has AMD processor (about four years old Dell machine).

We experimented with the Preference section where code view font can be specified. A change in specified in either case makes no difference. First machine always displays correct characters and second no matter what font we specify shows square boxes instead.

In both cases, we downloaded fresh Sigil version last week (aug 14 2013). What could be the difference? What can we do to identify the issue on the problematic machine.
