    Font differences between applications such as Terminal, VSCode, Word

    The reason for the OS managing fonts is to relieve applications of the burden of doing this themselves. Applications have access to quite a few parameters which determine how text using a specific font will appear. Windows provides a number of different methods for rendering text that applications choose from. Some provide more control than others.

    If the selected font doesn't have a specific character Windows can substitute a different font that does for that specific character. I am not sure when this was introduced. XP didn't do this but Windows 7 does. It will try to pick a font that is most like the normal font, such as being a fixed or proportional font. In most cases this is done independently of the application. Differing parameters can result in a different font being chosen. The more advanced rendering methods may allow the application to choose.

    Hello,

    I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?

    Font differences between applications such as Terminal, VSCode, Word

    Thanks for the reply Berton. If I'm following you correctly, I think you're saying that programs can choose whether or not to make use of the fonts provided by Windows. That means that different applications may display characters differently because they are not using the same fonts. That much I follow without difficulty.
    My problem arises with applications that have all chosen to apply the same font but the characters still appear differently. In the case of the Console, Windows Terminal, and Microsoft Word, these applications all allow me to select the font. I select the same font (Consolas), but the characters look different across the set of applications.
    It's very possible that I have misunderstood the point you were making though...
