      @Alan-Kilborn thank you! I just saved my file with every thing in that line in capital letters. That seems the only option.

        My preferred font, Source Code Pro, is definitely a TrueType font, but it also is affected by this bug.

        fonts dot google dot com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro (sorry breaking it up, I can’t post links)

        Disabling DirectWrite allows me to use Source Code Pro again, thank you for the tip. This is just another data point.

          N++ DirectWrite is set to Scintilla’s SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE (1), but there are also SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITERETAIN (2) and SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITEDC (3).
          In N++ UI this can not be changed, but you can try with scripting, for example with NppExec

          sci_sendmsg SCI_SETTECHNOLOGY 3

          I use Source Code Pro with DIRECTWRITEDC and quite happy with it.
