Default Edit Book Edit Window Font?

lhuxley · 03-26-2015, 07:40 PM

Would it be possible for someone to identify the default font used in the Calibre edit window? It displays as "None" in the Preferences Choose Font Family dialog. (I'm running Calibre 2.21 on Windows 8.1, if that matters.)

Originally, I thought that there was a bug in the editor, but it appears to be a problem with the default font. I am working with Unicode combining diacritics, (specifically U+0364) and the diacritics are combining with the letters on both sides of it, so that all three characters are on top of each other. (Diacritics should only combine with letters to the left.)

Your question is?
"What font is used if I don't set one in preferences"??

The default font is system dependent. On most windows systems, I think it usually resolves to Consolas. I recommend that if you dont like it, pick a specific font for yourself.
