Hi GT500, It was impossible to try the registry workaround on my bro's computer since he was unable to fix the fonts issue to install MBAM in the first place. However, finally I managed to guide him through a step-by-step install process in real time, reproducing myself the installation steps from my place of living. Then, when he finally got MBAM installed (with scrambled fonts anyway), I directed him to the program's 'Settings' tab and switch to english from the 'Language' drop-down menu. Success at last. I hope this workaround can be helpful to others that face this issue in the future. Thank you All Folks!
