Please increase the width of the Code Font in the option dialog on the General Options page so that all letters are displayed correctly.

Aleksey, please verify if this works for you.

yes ,i have  increased the width of the Code Font in the option dialog already,and i set wideth is 11,the chinese characters displayed well,but when i restart qb,althouth the set-value of wideth still is 11,in fact the wideth is default value 9,chinese characters displayed half,i must reset the value of wideth and  apply,then is well.
so this also is a little bug.

This bug is still alive in QB1.1.15.
If I set charwidth to 11,Chinese chars display well,but English chars sometimes covers each other or disapear.And,after restart QB,I have to reapply charwidth,or it won't work.
