Font Fallback Feature

[yuxt]

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.

- 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.

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".
