Hello,

I downloaded the windows 64 bit cilent. I'm running windows 8.1 64 bit. Whenever I enter any text, i don't see it. Please see the screenshot. Adding language = en in minetest.conf didn't worked! Help me!

EDIT : Searched the forum and found this : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9890

But it didn't fixed my issue. ;(

Rename the directory of that broken word to something with A-z characters only.
Minetest has problems with some languages, use latin letters to get around this problem.

Translation and character handling in Minetest is utterly broken and unreliable as long as it is not Unicode and fully using Gettext for each string :(

Thanks for the reply! ;)

I did that, and it worked.

But my main problem is that, whenever I enter text in username or password, I can't see it (like invisible) and I can't join any server, no matter what server i join it says invalid username...

Also use A-z and 0-9 for your username and password.
Try changing your keyboard layout to an english one. (just for testing)

That worked for me! I changed the keyboard layout to English(US)!
Thanks a lot, sir!
