A few users have reported that the Scrite UI uses strange or unknown language on some devices.
This happens in rare cases where we run into an unknown graphics driver and the rendering engine we use ends up drawing garbage instead of the text we ask of it.
To address this problem, you can switch to Software Rendering by checking a box.
Step 1: Close the home screen, if it is currently open.
Step 2: Use keyboard shortcut Ctrl, (Control Comma on Windows, Command Comma on macOS) to launch the Settings dialog box and check the Use Software Renderer checkbox. You may not be able to read the text, but it’s the second checkbox on the left in the dialog box.
Step 3: Once you check that box, you will be shown a message box that says “Software renderer will be used when you restart Scrite.”
Click on the Ok button. Quit the Scrite app and start again. This time the app would use a software renderer. The UI would look a tad different, but the texts should render just fine.
The problem and the solution described above can also be found in our Discord community here.
