Android studio IDE font changed - android-studio

I have encountered bizarre problem with IDE's font.
Currently my IDE looks this
Normally it should look this
What I did which may affect font - recently have been adding Japanese language as secondary keyboard layout and while I was in IDE switched to Japanese and started typing.
What I have tried - deleting config folder.
My settings:
Thanks.

I have managed to fix this. Even if settings are default, you have to manually change font and size in IDE.
If anyone has the same problem:
Make a copy of your theme
Set font to Consolas with size 15

How to change the font of Visual Studio Code's UI?

I'm trying to figure out how to change the font used in non-editor tabs in Visual Studio Code; right now this is what I'm getting (zoom the picture to better see what I'm referring to):
As you can see, a Serif font is used on these non-editor tabs (extension info, Git Graph tab, etc.), making it quite unpleasant and really hard to read.
This happened all of a sudden, I'm quite sure that it is not the default and a nicer and more readable Sans font was used before (like on the left panel), until this problem occurred. I've tried to find if it is possible to change this from inside VSC, but I'm only able to change the fonts used in the editor tabs.
I don't know why and how this behavior has started, and I'm not really sure if this issue is caused by VSC itself, by an extension, by the OS, or something else.
If it matters, I'm working on Linux, on a fully updated openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE, and like I said this problem started to manifest itself only recently, it was not how it worked by default.
Any clue on how to solve this?
Visual Studio Code does not offer convenient solution out of the box to change the UI font family.
But a developer created the Customize UI plugin for VS Code.
⚠️ EDIT 02/01/2023: following the version 1.74, the Customize UI plugin no longer work, see here. There is currently no ways to change the font in VSCode.
Setup
Install the Customize UI plugin
Restart VS Code
Open VS Code Settings
Change Customize UI Font:Monospace to Fira Code
Change Customize UI Font:Regular to Helvetica Nueve or Arial depending on your OS
Alternativaly, you can edit those settings using the json settings editor as follow:
"customizeUI.font.regular": "Helvetica Nueve",
"customizeUI.font.monospace": "Fira Code",
GitHub issue here
vscode is an electron app so you can actually just open up the developer tools in the help menu, look up the location of workbench.desktop.main.css under the source tab, make a backup and edit the font-family rule for your OS.
There's a pretty gnarly-phrased notification that pops up about vscode being corrupted, however the linked-documentation is fairly clear it's just unsupported officially.
In most of the Linux distributions we get the option to change the fonts systemwide if you are okay with changing the system font.

Some of fonts from pc not visible in android studio editor's setting

My operating system is windows. So in my PC there is one font called 'Ayuthaya.ttf' (that's not windows default font).
I want to use this font in android studio. But in font list from android studio settings I can't find that font.
But in IntelliJ's settings the font is visible. So how can I fix it?
This might be a little too late but in case someone encounters a similar problem.
If you are running Windows Build 1809 then a possible solution would be:
Delete your currently installed font.
Select the font or fonts (regular, light, etc...).
Right-click & select "Install for all users".
Restart Android Studio.
This happens because since build 1809 fonts are installed to:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts
while before build 1809 they were installed to:
C:\Windows\Fonts
Okay so I've actually had this issue in the past, this kind of issue usually happens when you change the default font on Windows. For example, I changed my default windows font to "San Francisco" by Apple and it literally made everything on Android Studio unreadable.
To fix the issue, just change the default font on Windows. If you're having trouble changing the font then I can provide you with a script to change the font.

Why do these weird characters appear on IntelliJ Idea and Android Studio?

These weird characters appeared when I installed Android Studio from the official page (Android Studio shows this too). I ran my Eset Nod32 antivirus and it says everything is alright. Does somebody know how to fix this, please?
It can be due to the font set for menus being corrupt. Change the font in File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Appearance and see if it renders correctly, in which case you'll have to reinstall that font in your computer or just use another one.

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

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
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.

Visual Studio 2012 Dark Theme Issue

I've been using the Visual Studio's Dark Theme for a while now. But as of today it got messed up. I'm not sure what triggered it but I'm speculating that opening an MVC3 project corrupted something. Please see the current behavior below.
How do I get this fixed?
Edit:
The issue is that the "Item foreground" and "Item background" settings gets set to something OTHER than "Default".
The fix is to go to Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors and setting the said properties to "Default".
Well, I fiddled with the Tools > Options > Environment - Fonts and Colors options for a while and managed to restore order. I'm not sure what messed it up initially!
I have had a lot of issues with the dark theme in VS2012. In order to make it work again I go to Tools -> Options -> Visual Experience and switch it to a different theme and then apply the dark theme again.
