Fonts in Total Commander on Windows 10

[michael123]

Hello,

more or less the only font that works on my new Dell laptop is the default one - Segoe UI 9, Semibold.

If you change the font, I get 'gibberish' data, in the file size and date/time columns

If I use bigger font, same, ..

what's wrong here?

thanks,

Hmm, it works fine here under Windows 10 with Microsoft Sans Serif,8

Are you using scaling in your Windows setup ?

[michael123]

No, it is 100%

[michael123]

I do see file names properly, the gibberish is with the other columns

Here is how it looks in my Windows 10 with Microsoft Sans Serif,8,b (left panel)

Could you post an image? Maybe the columns are just overlapping, and you need to separate them?

It looks like a Chinese or Japanese, I will post an image on Thursday, I am traveling now.

If you want me to run some code snippet on my machine, that's ok as well

I just changed from Semibold to Regular

TC uses Uniscribe to draw numbers with region-specific glyphs, e.g. Arabic. Apparently this seems to go wrong on your system. But you can disable it:

Please add the following string to the file wincmd.ini, section [Configuration]:
AlignNumberFix=0

You can edit the wincmd.ini via Configuration - Change settings files directly.

Yes, this is it!

Thanks

Nice to hear that! Btw, what do you use in Windows regional settings as
- system language
- language for non-unicode programs
- digits?

Especially the last one is interesting: Go to Control panel - Regional and Language settings. There should be a button "More settings". Default digits is set to 0123456789 here. Maybe it's set to different digits on your system?

For example, I can set it to Arabic and the option below (digit substitution) to "National", and TC will show Arabic numbers for Size, Date and Time.

Go to Control panel - Regional and Language settings. There should be a button "More settings".

FYI: In English (US) Windows 10 it is called: "Region" and "Additional Settings..."

To find "Region" you have to set the display of control panel ("View by:") to "Large Icons" or "Small icons" - not "Category"

[michael123]

It is everywhere 'English US'

Digits are 0123456789

There may be an inconsistency in the registry - you can try to set it to arabic, click apply, and then set it back to 0..9. But this is just for curiosity to find out why it is displaying incorrectly...

It is plain new Dell XPS..

What is the location for these registry settings?

Interesting that without this INI parameter, the only combination that works is Segoe, Semibold, 9
