some fonts not working for file list

[hlhp]

such as Consolas seems fall back to the default font.

I can't reproduce that. Works for me

What item to you change to that font ?

[hlhp]

just tried latest portable version in fresh, not working as well.(Restart MC after changed font)
the item i change is the file list, Consolas shoulbe be mono-space font, but the result is not.

the screenshot shows the same font in another program.

Strange, I can't say why it does not work for you. I works on all my machines.

Does other settings you change work ?
Is the font change written to the settings file ? ( ExplorerPanel.xml )

[hlhp]

only the font settings are changed.

the change does written to the setting file.( ExplorerPanel.xml )
<FileList FontName="Consolas" SizePt="12" Style="" Size="8"/>

I tried in another computer, windows 10.(only font setting is changed)

font is not change as well.

It is very strange. I cannot reproduce that.
There is something unique with you setup that blocks it from gettings the font then. I have no idea what that can be. Maybe some security software, I seen very strange behaviour from some security software causing very strange issues.

Is it all fonts or just consolas ?

Just found out that the local cause the issue.

Region > Administrative > Language for non-Unicode programs
Choosing Japanese or Chinese will cause the problem.
English will be fine.

The fonts that always work:
Microsoft JhengHei UI
Small Fonts
Segoe UI

fonts that not work in chinese/japanese locale:
Consolas
Comic Sans MS
Webdings
Wingdings
Impact

I'm not there is an automatic solution for this.
Might be an issue with Windows.

However MC is a "Unicode aware program" so that settings should not affect MC.  Strange.

I just turn the local back to English, problem fixed .
