Very small font and corrupted characters

Hello!
My Proofing Tool GUI software is being used by a user to develop the Marathi spell checker.
However:
I am using the Arial font.
Notice how the font becomes petite in the "Rules" column and also in the first column. All other columns show normal size.
Also, at the bottom, the EditorGadget shows corrupt characters... how can this be if in the ListIconGadget and StringGadget they appear well?
I am using PureBasic 5.70 LTS, can this be a PB bug?
Thanks!

If I see the letters in the StringGadget "Word:" ... it looks like Marathi.
So I think he is using a font for this. You use arial, so some of the letters cannot shown.

But I set "Arial" to all gadgets... how can the gadgets use two fonts and the EditorGadget doesn't show the Marathi?

I guess it works only with "display" dialog boxes, but does not render unicode characters correctly in "Edit" dialog boxes.
For e.g. all the words on Thesaurus tab shows correctly as shown below. But if I try to edit a word, the "Meanings" section shows only boxes while "Synonym" shows correctly.
I am not sure if this should be reported to PureBasic or the Programmer though
Correct:
Incorrect rendering:
The same incorrect rendering while trying to bulk import:

Can you try with this code? (Works here, Linux)
Code: Select all
win = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 50, 100, 800, 600, "..")
AddKeyboardShortcut(win, #PB_Shortcut_Escape, 10)
tx = TextGadget(#PB_Any, 10, 10, 300, 20, "")
ed = EditorGadget(#PB_Any, 10, 30, 300, 100)
tx2 = TextGadget(#PB_Any, 10, 160, 300, 20, "")
ed2 = EditorGadget(#PB_Any, 10, 190, 300, 100)
f = LoadFont(#PB_Any, "arial", 12)
Debug f
SetGadgetFont(tx2, FontID(f))
SetGadgetFont(ed2, FontID(f))
s.s = "Marathi (मराठी marāṭhī [mə'ɾa:ʈʰi:])"
SetGadgetText(tx, s)
SetGadgetText(ed, s)
SetGadgetText(tx2, s)
SetGadgetText(ed2, s)
Repeat
WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow Or Event() = #PB_Event_Menu

On Windows you can use the "Arial Unicode MS" font instead of Arial.

Please try the font:
"Arial Unicode MS"
Like mentioned by the person in the previous post.
Tell me if it works.
Thanks!

Thank you for that hint. In fact any unicode Marathi font will solve this problem!

Hello!
"Arial Unicode MS" no longer comes with Microsoft Office and I have a new computer since January (and it is no longer there).
Is there any replacement for it for the Marathi language?
Thanks!
