Forums mIRC Help Bold/Underline/etc Codes Not Showing

I've just upgraded to Windows 10 and now when I look at scripts or try to use CTRL+B (or CTRL+O, Italics, Underline, whatever) it doesn't show anything. Before it used to show a small block so I could tell where the code actually was and how many were in the line but now nothing. It's making editing certain scripts a pain.

Anyone know how to fix this?

These characters are called non printable character, they are not meant to be displayed/printed, in the past we were basically lucky to get them rendered in some ways that wasn't a pain.
It never was a good idea to use these character as it is in scripts, a terrible idea in fact.

You should be using $chr()'s equivalency of these characters in your script to make it clear, $chr(2) is bold etc, you can use $asc() to get the ascii number of these characters, but here is the list:
2 for bold - control + b
3 for color - control + k
15 for 'stop' - control + o
22 for reverse - control + r
29 for italic - control + i
31 for underline - control + u

Use that in your script.

Hm, that's disappointing considering it's always worked for the last 10 years or so that I've been using mIRC. Guess Windows 10 changes it and doesn't have anything show up for it.

And while that's a massive pain to try to edit thousands of lines in scripts, that's at least doable. Using the $chr commands doesn't help me in the chat box or trying to edit a topic.

Still, thanks for the response.

It's based in Font. try installing an font that supports these mIRC characters in order to display them.

You can use this font Fixedsys Excelsior 3.01: http://www.fixedsysexcelsior.com/fonts/FSEX300.ttf

Install it and change the font from the mIRC and use 12 size (in order to be the same as the original Fixedsys), the 'underline' and 'italic' characters it display them as <space> and not as symbol.
