RPG Maker Forums

So, I'm editing a RPG Maker XP game that was originally made in Japanese (mainly for the purposes of translating), but I've very quickly run into a problem. All of the switches, variables, and most importantly the dialogue text that were originally written in Japanese are nothing but question marks. I then noticed that even if I were to manually copy-n-paste a Japanese character into the text, it would immediately change into a question mark (this is shown in the attached picture). Also, if I open up the game in play test mode or regular, the text is completely invisible. I have a Japanese font pre-installed on my computer, so I don't think that's the problem.

So what do I have to do to get the Japanese text to display properly? I did try changing my computer's language settings to Japanese, but that didn't work at all. Also, I'm on Windows 10.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. I did look all around on Google and these forums first to see if someone had already found the answer to this problem, but I couldn't find it, so if it's here and I missed it, I'm sorry!
