Hello, i have installed Geany 1.36 on a Windows HP Laptop. In the message- and side- window only small boxes ( caskets ) are shown , no signs. Additional the search function with Ctrl-F does not work, Geany chrashed and must beclosed.

Looks weird… could this be a broken font or font library?
Also, I can't help but notice it appears on the message window and sidebar, which both are tree views. You can also set a specific font for the message window, maybe you could try and select one and see if it helps? (*edit→preferences→interface→fonts→message window*)
The Problem with the strange signs is solved,, it`s the font. But the crashing at Ctrl-F ( search funtion ) still remains.
Just saying "it crashed" provides no information for anyone to help you, thats why nobody has commented since January. AFAIK Geany doesn't crash for others using Windows 10 so its something about your system. Perhaps try installing GDB and getting a backtrace, see the HACKING file. Or I think there is a Windows way of getting info on a crashed program. Also make sure there are no plugins enabled at all, and try with a clean configuration by starting with `geany -c non-existant-directory`.
