How to fix Android Studio font issues in IDE menu and labels?

Question

I have just installed new Android Studio. But when I open Android Studio, it shows weird kind of characters. Text and Labels in Menu bar are scrambled / appears to be some kind of garbage characters. Can anybody help me solving this problem? TIK

P.S I am using Windows 10

Answer 1

I'm running Win10 and haven't got the nightmare you are into. My sympathies. Try this and see if it works.

Navigate to your user data folder. My user name is "Joe", so my folder is c:\Users\joe\AndroidStudio1.3\config\options . See screen shot #1 below.

Open ui.inf.xml in NotePad ( I use notepad++ here ). Change FONT_FACE to "Consolas" - see screen shot #2 below.

Let me know if this works!

I found out the cause of the issue for the same issue happened in my system. It was caused by the windows font which was somehow not supported by Android studio. I changed the windows font to a standard font e.g. Verdana to fix the issue.
