Hey everyone.
I just installed the Noto Sans font because I want to use it in MusicBee but most of the text uses the Arial font for some reason. Is there any way to fix it? I've already reinstalled the font and restarted my PC. I have the same problem with Noto Serif btw.
Here's a screenshot of my MusicBee, every text that uses the correct font is marked red.

If the new font displays correctly in one part of MB then it should work in all.
Fonts need to be set in -many- places within MB's settings. Have you changed them all to the new one?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Yep, I've changed the font everywhere.

I'm still not convinced.
Please post a screenshot of your track details configuration.
Click the word 'tracks' in the upper left of the window > customize panel

You selected some 'blk' version of Noto Sans.
What happens if you use a regular type?

I have Noto Sans 1.04 and it works flawlessly:
(and it shows size 9.75 instead of your 9.749999?)

All versions aren't working for me.

That's not the screenshot I asked for.
It looks to me that you have not changed the font everywhere.

Read what I wrote and post the requested screenshot.

Specify 'all versions'.
I mentioned 1.04 regular works perfectly here.

I did that, it's the 4th screenshot. And all fonts work fine except Noto Sans and Noto Serif.

By all versions I meant Noto Sans Regular, Bold, Black etc.
Did you download the font from https://www.google.com/get/noto/ ?

I don't recall where I downloaded it, but what is—or may be—important is the font version, that I mentioned twice now.

And what is your MusicBee version?
And, portable/install/store?

I have Noto Sans 2.000 according to the metadata.
My MusicBee version is 3.4.7866 (Not portable). The dev made it for me because some track durations were wrong.

Strange, if I use the download link you provided, I get 1.04 (again)
I'm gonna leave it at this.

B.t.w. you can safely update your MusicBee version too.
The duration fix is not only for that specific version.

Okay so I downloaded the font from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans#standard-styles now, it's 1.04 and works just fine. Weird.
