If you want to play the game on a Mac with your in-game language set to Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean or Thai ... or possibly other future languages still to come ... then you may experience invisible text (empty boxes instead of language characters) on first starting the game in those languages.

The solution is to edit the <code>clientsettings.json</code> file (see tips above) to include appropriate font choices for your preferred language.  Look for two lines similar to this in the clientsettings file, and edit them to use appropriate font names - choose the names of fonts available on your Mac for your preferred language.  (Note, the game may have already set these to different font names, it is attempting to choose fonts which are good for these languages but you may not have these fonts installed on a Mac.)
