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

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.

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.

Issue in graphic of Android Studio, it's working but it's not perfect

Who knows how do I solve the issue in this picture? the text is hiding :( !
click here to see the pic > Android Studio Issue < click here to see the pic
I've cleaned the Hard-disk, RAM is OK, Processor isn't busy.. :\ so how can I show all the text
and the problem is in everything in The android Studio on my machine, not only in this picture
There should be a check box you can check to stop it auto formatting and you can put in anything you like. I'll upload a picture soon.

LogCat is missing the filters options

The filters are on the devices tab. But isn't this supposed to be in logcat?
How do you reset them back?
There is a way to make it appear.
Just click the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS.
But it may will miss again in some case... I guess whether it's a bug of AS.
This bug is still existing in Android Studio 3.5 the lastest stable version, I got it just now(08/26/2019 3:13PM).
Had this problem on Android Studio 3.2 Beta 4 (Windows 64-bit). Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off again made the filters reappear. Bit faster than exiting Android Studio if you're lucky enough.
Had the same problem.
Exit and restart Android Studio and it should be fixed.
Interestingly, the first time I tried to re-open Android Studio I got a crash. But the second time it worked fine. Perhaps there's a bug somewhere.
See This Image Here, Bottom of android studio left side corner click the rectangle icon.
Restart Android Studio didn't help me, nor toggling floating mode, but clicking the "Event log" label in the bottom-right of AS did the trick!
I fixed this by setting viewmode for logcat to a separate window and the switching view mode back to "Dock Pinned". Right click on the top bar of and you will see view mode option. It will essentially reset logcat.
I fixed by changing its location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Left Top : The logcat reappeared. After that, change it to the previous location. Click Setting -> Move to -> Bottom Left
I had the same problem.
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart solved the problem.
Bug still occurs in Android Studio 3.5
Build #AI-191.8026.42.35.5791312. What worked for me is clicking the Event Log then it shows.
I faced the same problem in Android Studio 3.3 and by Toggling 'Floating Mode' on and off, the filters appeared.Hope it will help in your case also.
Just right click on the title bar of it and switch to windowed mode then go back to your mode...
Still having the problem with AS 3.5 which is awful! Fixing it every time by switching logcat window view mode from dock pinned to float and changing it back to dock pinned again.
Opened an issue here for the team to fix it. Consider starring it to get more attention, or sharing your own experience to help find the culprit.
I resolved this issue by selecting 'split mode' from the setting option of the top right corner of LogCat section of Android Studio
Happy Android Coding!
Hope this will save anyone's time!
Simple
File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidade and Restart
I had the same problem. It didn't ever happened before on my PC, but now I'm using Mac and many bad things happens.
I tried to fix it by the above solutions, but nothing worked for me. What eventually did work was double clicking the toolbar (to maximize tool window).
I tired closing and reopening Android Studio and even restarting my mac and nothing worked. Instead of closing Android Studio I did invalidate cache and restart under the tab file in Android Studio and everything seems to be fixed now
I fixed in Mac by double clicking toolbar window to maximize as comments above.
I tried restarting a couple of times but that did not bring the filter menu in Logcat tab. However, in my case, it was also showing a pop-up notification to update the IDE. I updated it and got the filter option back.
I synced the files and then restarted the computer.
In my case
On your android studio press ALT+6
Go to Setting Right Top, just Click Show Tool
In your android studio settings, go to Experimental and unvalidate the "Enable new logcat" and restart your android studio, it will work.

visual studio 2012 puts a small number in the top left corner of my screen

I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue with visual studio (or a VS extension because I have a few installed) and what is causing this? The number goes away when I close visual studio and I have not been able to figure our what is causing this. The number is overlayed on my desktop and not just visual studio. It covers all other windows I have open as well telling me it's set to be always on top.
Anyone else come across this issue or what is causing it?
I figured it out!
This has been bothering me for years. I finally just sat down and solved the problem. Basically, VS has this little known feature where you can navigate through code lens with just your keyboard. If you press Alt for a couple of seconds, you will see numbers just like the ones that appear at the top of your screen above your current method. To fix it, just long press Alt again and the number should go away. If you have many VS instances open you might have to go through them one by one.
I don't have significant reputation to comment, but I am experiencing this both with VS2013 and VS2015 too. The only extension I have installed is Resharper.
My research shows that it is caused by the hover text / overlays from various components. The only way I have found to get rid of them is to close the Visual Studio IDE window responsible.
