Hello,
I just updated to Texpad 8. Now when I load a file with the same font, same script, then I don't get the same look.
See here my Hardcopy:

What are the possible causes?
Many thanks for your help

your are right! I have a strange problem with Textpad 8 on Windows 10.
If I change, the font, nothing change!
On the same PC, I still have Textpad 7. Here I can change the font without problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the version 8, but I still can't change the font! I have to search about the possible causes.
Thanks for your help

I see that you've set the font script to OEM/DOS. In TextPad 7, this controls the interpretation of the code page of 8-bit characters, but is ignored in TextPad 8, as internally everything is in UTF-16 and the conversion to and from OEM/DOS is performed when the file is read and written.
For example, if you load a file in TextPad 7 containing DOS line drawing characters, but select the Western font script, those characters will be drawn with the glyphs for the characters with the same numeric value in the ANSI code page. There are very few fonts, such as Terminal, which implement the DOS script.
Does that explanation help?
