Unicode Font Support - WinForms Label

Question

I have a WinForms label control that is reading data from a JSON object and setting the text property.

I have not found a font that properly supports certain glyphs.

I'm only dealing with European countries in my situation, so no Chinese or Japanese.

Here's an example of how it is rendering it in the label control:

However, when I open the JSON file in Visual Studio, rendering with Consolas, it appears fine:

Even if I set the label to Consolas font, it does not match what Visual Studio is showing.

What do I have to go about here to make the label properly render these glyphs?

Answer 1

Thanks to @HansPassant, I realized what the issue here was.

The JSON file in question was an embedded resource, and was set to FileType.Binary .

This was unnecessary, so I changed this to FileType.Text , which allows the Encoding property to be set.

With Encoding as Unicode (UTF-8) - Codepage 65001 , this is now displaying as intended.
