Guild Wars 2

In letters and scripted events, accent marked letters appear in place of what I have found out [through asking friends and looking over another player’s shoulder] should be dashes of some sort. I thought it may have been the fact that I have my system locale in a non-unicode language, but that’s not the case because said player has the same system locale. Even so, I tried changing it, to no avail.
What’s causing this, and how do I stop it?
In screencap, the problem occurs in the signature of the letter.

Bumping this thread, I haven’t received a reply and I made this over a week ago.

I was having this problem as well. Setting the UI size to anything other than “Large” resolved the issue for me.
