I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================
Hello all,
One thing that has been bothering me since the day I first installed PDF-XChange Editor is that the font on the File tab is inconsistent between the title and the left side menu. In English environment, the font is unified with sans-serif typeface the figure below.
- In an English environment, everything is in sans-serif typeface, which is beautiful!
However, in some language environments such as Japanese, serif-like (mincho) typeface is used in the title, while sans-serif-like (gothic) typeface is used in the left side menu and others in the figure below. Although subjective, typeface mismatch can give an amateurish impression to the entire application.

I guess no one, including me, has pointed this out since it does not affect the operation of the application itself in any way. However, I happened to install PDF-XChange Editor on an English version of Windows (with no additional language packs installed), changed the language setting of PDF-XChange Editor to Japanese, and discovered that all the font on the File tab, including the title, were displayed in sans-serif-like (gothic) typeface.

As indicated above, what we Japanese users see is most likely different from what the developers in the English environment see. Therefore, unless someone reports the typeface discrepancy, the developer will never have a chance to notice it, so I have decided to report it here, even though it is a trivial matter.
Most of the report has already been written, but I have confirmed that even on an English version of Windows 10, by installing an additional Japanese language pack, you can reproduce the same conditions as Japanese users.

I have confirmed on mutiple PCs that typeface mismatch occurs in the default Japanese environment, regardless of Windows 10 or 11. Of course, PDF-XChange Editor is the default setting. Just to be sure, I checked the Japanese manual published by Jungle, authorized distributor in Japan, and font on the File tab is inconsistent between the title and the left side menu.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
