Problem Vista MS Gothic, nobody seems to know how to fix it, please help!

The problem is the following.

I tried to fire up the game by the name of the last scenario (http://site.scfworks.com/?page_id=9) which has held very well by using Windows XP. On my installation of Vista, however, loading the game with no police whatever it is - no words do not appear in any part of the game. The game creator is aware of this problem and has released a fix presumed (at the link above) does not.

The game requires the police MS Gothic, which comes with Vista.

Did some research on the issue, it seems to be a problem with the MS Gothic font in Vista. I downloaded and installed another copy of MS Gothic, as the police MS Gothic for Vista is a set including several fonts, assuming that it could solve the problem. This is not the case.

If I change my regional settings of the Japanese system (Japan) the game generates an error on load indicating that MS Gothic is not installed (it is) and the game requires the police to run. However, the game load - Courier New - text and seems to work as long as my local system has the Japanese value. If I change the locale system back to my native English (Australia), the game returns to have no visible police.

I tried to install MS Gothic, to remove and to reinstall MS Gothic between reboots and searching the Internet for several hours and met with dozens of other people having a problem identical to mine - the game no poster not fonts in Vista unless the locale system is defined for Japanese (Japan).

I (and the appearance of things, several others) love in this game without having to change our regional settings (and the reboot needed) every time we want to play.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for solutions, do not hesitate to answer! Dozens of frustrated people to would always be in your debt :)

"The creator of the game is aware of this problem and has released a fix presumed (at the link above) who doesn't."

You have a major problem when the manufacturer delivers a solution that does not work.

If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
It works for some programs, but not all.

This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

Or try asking in the Forum of the game:
