Windows 10: Why is the wordpad on windows 11 such a bad copy of the wordpad used on windows 10?

I have just bought a new Lenovo Ideapad windows 11. The fonts look like a copy of a copy of a copy and so on. I have hundreds of rich text files written in Chinese characters and English. Having uploaded them to this new laptop I was suprised to find that characters written in the old Simsum size 12 now look as if they are written in size 10 - they are bitty and badly formed. As the English and Pinyin is written in Calibri font in a different size it will take me months if not years to change every Chinese word into a larger font at least size 14 to be acceptable and then to change all the E

Having uploaded them to this new laptop I was suprised to find that characters written in the old Simsum size 12 now look as if they are written in size 10 - they are bitty and badly formed. As the English and Pinyin is written in Calibri font in a different size it will take me months if not years to change every Chinese word into a larger font (at least size 14 to be acceptable) and then to change all the English or Pinyin from Calibri size 9 or 10 to at least size 11 to look half as decent as it did when I was using my old Lenovo.

How can the sizing be so inconsistant? And is there a quicker way to change the sizing? But even that does not make it look as good as it was before. Enlarging the Simsum font to size 14 makes the characters go grey instead of black. I created a new document on this laptop but that made no difference. This example, which I have not changed from the original, looks okay here, but on my new laptop, in wordpad all the characters are broken despite the fact that this was cut and pasted from a wordpad document:

主要人物和地点 [Zhǔy o Rénwù hé Dìdiǎn] - Main Characters and Places

Any suggestions, anybody?

Hello M

Im Juliet and Ill do my best to help you

I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with Wordpad on Windows 11. It's possible that the font rendering technology used in Windows 11 is different from that used in Windows 10, which could explain why the fonts look different.

To change the font size of your existing documents, you can try using the "Find and Replace" function in Wordpad. Here's how:

1. Open your document in Wordpad.

2. Press Ctrl + H to open the "Find and Replace" dialog box.

3. In the "Find what" field, type the Chinese characters that you want to enlarge.

4. In the "Replace with" field, type the same characters but in a larger font size.

5. Click "Replace All" to replace all instances of the characters in the document with the larger font size.

You can repeat this process for each font size that you want to change. However, keep in mind that changing the font size may not completely solve the issue with the font rendering.

I hope this helps! Let me know what happens

 

Find Wordpad in Windows 10

I typed WordPad in the Search box, also in the Cortana box.

Both resulted in a list of internet sites on the problem of finding WordPad in Windows 10.

This was NOT helpful.

Can someone give the steps on finding WordPad in Windows 10.

Microsoft seems to be very consumer-unfriendly. It cannot make a product that is consumer-friendly.

Windows 10 full of apps, that is very unhelpful. Too ad-oriented. And we have to pay for Windows 10 as part of the purchase price of the laptop.
