Fixing Vietnamese Font Issue in Skype
To better understand the Vietnamese font issue in Skype, let's consider the most practical example below. For instance, when I type a chat message as 'Have you had breakfast today,' but when typing on Skype, it displays as 'Have you had a light breakfast today.'
>> In this case, the word 'sáng' is transformed into 'sang,' which is the Vietnamese font issue that Mytour is referring to. Essentially, the Vietnamese typing issue here is not caused by Unikey or Skype, but rather by the Windows 10 system we are using.
The Vietnamese font issue in Skype that Mytour is addressing is essentially a transformation of the word 'sáng' into 'sang' when typed on Skype. Contrary to misconception, this issue does not stem from Unikey or Skype, but rather from the Windows 10 operating system we are currently using.
Step 1: To fix the Vietnamese font issue in Skype, first check your Unikey to ensure there are no encoding or input method issues with the current Unikey setup.
Step 2: To be more thorough, we can check on the Taskbar with Unikey and also open Unikey in Run as Administrator mode first. If there are no issues and the Vietnamese font issue in Skype is successfully fixed, try again with the normal method.
Step 3: Look down at the Taskbar in the bottom right corner of the screen where you will see the ENG icon. Click on it and you will see that the current system Keyboard is ENG and this is the cause of the Vietnamese font issue in Skype that only occurs on Windows 10.
Step 4: To fix the issue of numbers turning into characters, it's very simple, we just need to set it back to default as VIE Vietnamese Keyboard.
Note: If Unikey is not enabled, you won't be able to see this VIE icon on Windows 10.
Additionally, we can utilize the shortcut combination Windows + Spacebar (space key) to facilitate quicker keyboard language switching.
Now, let's try again and you will notice that the Vietnamese font issue in Skype has completely disappeared.
Above is the guide on how to fix the Vietnamese font issue in Skype, a common issue on Skype for Windows 10 users, so fixing it is not too difficult. Skype itself has many compatibility-related issues during usage, to mitigate this problem, we should regularly update Skype as updating Skype is the simplest and safest way you can do.
