The font used for Japanese characters (and maybe Chinese as well?) is in bold and makes things hard to read

The Japanese font used in all parts of the UI is in bold and can make things hard to decipher especially at the relatively small font size used in the UI. :) Capture d’écran 2022-05-18 175900 (same thing in the info bar at the top of the cuts tab, on the filters tab, etc.)

Hmm interesting I'm seeing it work fine locally with Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji, can you paste the text that you're getting the poor rendering with into this issue?

Oh, strange. the text: 脳神経検査 (first thing that came to mind when thinking about some intricate kanji 😅) Maybe you're using a font in WebmGenerator that I don't have installed on my computer so it falls back to this bold font ? EDIT: Yeah Hiragana and Katakana are bold as well.

Yeah, renders fine here, and I'm not overriding the font in any way it's simply the out of the box tkinter font, I'll have a look around to see what that is and make sure it's bundled.

Okay, thank you :)

Investigated this and it should simply be using the installed "Tahoma" font on your system as the first preference, a pixelwise comparison of the latin text seems to indicate that that's what it's using on your system.

Would you mind trying checking in notepad if Japanese characters render correctly with 8pt Tahoma selected?

Sure ! I'm away from home for a couple days though and can't check, but I'll do that when I get back.

Alright, I checked and it renders correctly in Notepad. Capture d’écran 2022-07-18 161554

Very annoying.

Yeah. Also, I'm on Windows 11 Insider Dev build. Maybe that has something to do with it ?
