        @ioc2e3 ,

        Again, you aren’t making yourself overly clear. Notepad++ displays … correctly. And I don’t know know what you mean by “language archives”

          Gujarati, an Indic Language is not display correctly. Gujarati display is displayed by Apple without problems. These kind of things come at front when lines overwrite or leave too much white space, Look at Textedit and Pages in Mac and how nicely they display.

          Once you have taken care of all languages and thinking of going to Mexico and retiring, write the code for Nastaliq version of Urdu. (humour(

              No plugin needed. Notepad++ uses whatever font you ask it to: Set Settings > Style Configurator > Language: Global Styles > Style: Default Style to have the font you want, and that will be the font that Notepad++ uses.

              If glyphs from a font are not displayed like you think it should be, it may be that you don’t have the appropriate Settings > Preferences > MISC > rendering mode setting. Usually Direct Write (default) (which is the modern default setting) is the best choice, but sometimes, one of the other options works better, depending on font and circumstances.

              The Direct Write is default nowadays, but if you have been using Notepad++ for years, over multiple versions, it might be that you started on an older version that didn’t use Direct Write by default, so you might still be on what’s now known as GDI (most compatible), which though “compatible”, doesn’t work for some of the fancy fonts that focus on non-Western characters.

              But without more information (like some sample text that we can copy/paste), more information about the font (does it come with a normal Windows, or would we have to install it separately), ?-menu’s Debug Info (so that we know which version of Notepad++ you are using, and other important information), and possibly screenshots of how Notepad++ is doing it “wrong” vs some other windows application displaying the same text in the same font “right”, there’s not much else we can do to help.

                Searching suggests that “Gujarati MT” is a Apple system font that is not available elsewhere.

                Are you by any chance using the new MacOS port of Notepad++? That port is not maintained or endorsed by the creator of Notepad++. You would have to raise issues with it in its own repository. We’re not going have a clue here.
