Wrong label fonts - help anyone?

Post by bc_is_too_short »

I have a fresh install of XnViewMP 64-bit, Win 10 21H2 (19044.1889).

- some numbers are displayed in non-expected (and not really readable) font:
wrong font in the label
wrong font in the label

- the same happens with some boxes in Settings:
wrong font in Settings
wrong font in Settings

- no other application does this (this applies to XnView Classic, displaying everything just right)

- I have tried changing fonts via Settings, via theme css file, reinstalling, running non-installed version extracted from zip file, turning off font-manager, everything I could come up with short of reinstalling Windows...

...which leads to a question: what font should display that data? Maybe I have uninstalled some fonts that are necessary for XnView MP?

My regional settings (just in case):
regional settings

English (en) to be precise, although no matter what is set there, the problem persists

Did you try another font ? Maybe MS Shell Dlg2 (shown in your screenshot) is damaged ?

I had no problem with an old version and I also checked different font in case of file being corrupt.

I managed to fix it finally, though I have no idea what was broken.

Control Panel > Region > Additional Settings and I reset settings to defaults, reverted to my settings and all looks good.

Looks like Windows fault. What baffles me is - why XnView MP was the only program affected and only partially?

Thank you for all the help.
