Lost my font?

I've always used FixedSys. This week I found my MUSHclient font seemingly changed. I checked the settings and it still says FixedSys, but it looks like:

And that doesn't look like FixedSys to me (FixedSys has a more "fat" look). Any thoughts? All my worlds are like this.

Uncheck override with default

Okay I did that, selected FixedSys, change to 14 size, saved and...

Still doesn't look like FixedSys. :/

Why did you change to 14? I don't think FixedSys has valid sizes other than 9.

That looks like Courier to me. Strange.

Template:summary

Please provide a summary of your world configuration:

  • Either use the scripting Immediate window (Ctrl+I) to execute: Debug ("summary")

    or

  • Install the Summary plugin (see "Summary" feature) and type "summary"

Then copy the resulting information from the output window, and paste into a Forum message.

You need version 4.55 onwards of MUSHclient to do this.

The global default is Courier 9. He had override with defaults checked. See his second image instead.

Fiendish: I changed the font size just to make sure something would actually change. There was only 1 valid font size, yeah but it still changed.

I can reproduce that like this:



Note the SetOutputFont script command.

Well something is really wrong. I did that too: http://i.imgur.com/UiIrH.png

(2 screenshots in one, showing 2 different font sizes of that font)

That doesn't look like that font at all compared to yours.
