Windows 10: How can I set a preferred font for each language on Windows?

Windows includes two Unicode fonts for Malayalam scripts, namely Karthika and Nirmala. However, I find these fonts to be extremely unappealing, and I would like Windows to use other Malayalam fonts as default that I have installed from the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing SMC.Could you please guide me on how to achieve this? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

languages preferred

Hello,

Assuming you want to use English (United States) as your preferred language, try these steps

1. Right click Start Button or press Windows + X keys and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

2. In the administrative Windows PowerShell window, type these commands one-by-one and press Enter key after each:

Get-WinUserLanguageList

This will display list of installed languages on your machine. Note the LanguageTag for your preferred language.

$1=New-WinUserLanguageList <LanguageTag>

Replace <LanguageTag> for your preferred language. For example, if your preferred language is English (United States), then you can use $1=New-WinUserLanguageList en-US.

Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

After this, when opted, type Y to confirm setting preferred language. Close Windows PowerShell and you're done.

Hope this helps!

Hi AS Balticom,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the Language preference settings doesn't work as it should.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
   
2. Which build version is installed on the computer? Press Windows key + R, type 'winver' and press enter to know this information.
   
3. Is the issue specific to the UK language?
   

Meanwhile, suggest you to follow these methods and check if that works for you.

Method 1: Suggest you to run the LPK setup and remove the language pack.

1. Press WIndows key + R to get the run window.
   
2. Type ‘LPKSETUP’ and press enter.
   
3. Click ‘Uninstall display languages.
   
4. Choose the language then click ‘Next’.
   

Once this is done, restart the computer and check if that helps.

Method 2: Further, suggest you to open the Registry Editor and remove the specific registry key and restart the PC to see if that makes any difference.
