The use case is like:
- I set "Noto Sans" as the default font. It works for A-Z, but does not work for e.g. Chinese characters.
- The default fallback font for Chinese seems "SimSun", which does not fit and is not what I want.
- It would be good if there is a way to set up ["Noto Sans", "Microsoft YaHei"], so that for Chinese "Microsoft YaHei" is applied.

Nice idea but I get no feedback from Windows about "does not work for e.g. Chinese characters", so I cannot implement this logic.

OK I got it, I assume it is a limitation of VB6. Thanks for the explanation!

No, it is a limitation of Windows.

Searching "WPF font fallback" gives materials indicating it will work (in WPF), that's why I made the guess;

Okay, interesting.

XYplorer nowhere defines the default fallback for Chinese. So, SimSun is probably defined somewhere in Windows. And that's where you can probably change it to "Microsoft YaHei".
