    Windows fixed-width fonts are small and overridden with "Fixedsys" everywhere


    Hello! Some time ago I've tried settings my font in Command Prompt to "Fixedsys". I edited the registry, and got it working. But it also changed fixed-width fonts everywhere on Windows, including other all kinds of apps, even website which show code using the <pre> tags. I've since removed the registry entries, but the problem still persists. The most annoying issue is that the font is only 8px big, almost impossible to read.

    Monospace Font isn't fixed width for CJK chars


    Just installed Windows 10 Home English version.
    Open notepad, choose font: Consolas (default) / Courier New / Lucida Console, CJK characters are not fixed width.
    In previous versions of Windows, these monospace fonts indeed display CJK characters in fixed width.
    Is this normal? How to fix this?

    Fonts

    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?
