If try to change the font in xyplorer to Noto Sans CJK.otc.ttc(https://github.com/notofonts/noto-cjk), or if try do, an error occurs. It will be displayed as ERROR 6 OVERFLOW and will break the entire font rendering of xyplorer and window font rendering and cannot be recovered without rebooting the system. If do not stop at attempting the change and change the font to Noto Sans CJK, xyplorer will not recover from a reboot and window font rendering will break with it every time xyplorer is run. In this case, need to delete and reinstall xyplorer.

My guess is that the problem is caused by the font in question being too large as a TTC file and xyplorer cannot read it.

The noto sans cjk font is a font that can represent both CJKV languages and even some older languages. I hope this can be resolved if possible.

Additionally, if I accidentally lose my licence during the reinstallation process, will I be able to find it on the xyplorer site? (not lost it)

Can't say anything about the font itself, not using it...

You wouldn't need to reinstall XY when this happens though.
Just make sure that no XY instance is running and then you open the XYplorer.ini file and replace the whole [Font] section with these entries: You wouldn't lose your licence because of this change and if you'd lost is, look into your e-mails.
You can't retrieve it on the XY website.

This error occurs if you try to change the font to NOTO SANS CJK in Configuration - Fonts - MAIN CONTENTS, or if you change it.

Add the error message.

Can you provide a download link to the exact font file you want to use?

Thank you for your response. It looks like xyplorer can be restored without reinstalling.
I'll have to keep my licence email safe.

yes.

Thanks.

Currently XY is not compatible with TTC. This may change in the future.

Thank you for your response. I look forward to it.

Solution: Variable .otf.ttc font files will cause an error, so install them as individual font files or non-variable .ttf.ttc font files.

Thanks for the info.

In the meantime, I had installed the Noto package you linked to, selected one of the NOTO SANS CJK fonts in XYplorer, and saw the overflow error you saw. What happened next was quite scary: Other applications in Windows were also affected (WTF). For example, all the lists in File Explorer were completely black, just icons, no text. I managed to restart Windows by clicking on captionless ghost buttons, and the thing fixed itself. Pheww.
