Question: strange font problem with Maple 2023 on windows 10

My main question is: How to change the font used in worksheet by Maple for 1D input from Courier to another font say times new roman? Is there a setting for this so it applies all the time?

ps. I found Can-I-Change-the-Default-Fonts-or-Style-for-Maple-Worksheets-and-Documents?language=en_US  (very hard to follow and confusing, but it seems that is only way to fix this problem now is to change the default font).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed strange font problem using Maple 2023 on windows 10. This problem does not show on Maple 2022.2 (at least I do not think I've seen it or noticed it before). 

Variables with _ between the names, will have the underscore not display sometimes as I move the cursor around (movie at end).

When scrolling back up, the underscores no longer become visible. 

But as I move the cursor over the variable name which containes the underscore, they will now show up.

I am sure this is a font issue. The zoom is set at 100%. I made no changes at all other than making the input 1D math as I normally do and set the default to worksheet. Some of my setting are below.

This could be a DPI issue settings of some sort. My monitor is standard monitor (not a 4K one) and again, I have not changed any settings on my PC after I installed Maple 2023 and did not change any hardware.

 

 

 

 

Here is some system information also

 

 

Here is the movie showing the problem

 

 

As I play more with it, I notice a common theme. This happens when I hit the UP ARROW to go to the line above. Then suddenly the underscroes no longer visible. Once I hit the LEFT arrow (now I am at the above line), they show up again.

Here is another movie which more clearly shows this.

This makes it very hard to work with the code in the worksheet. But I am sure this can be fixed as it looks like just a font configuration issue with Maple on windows. But I do not know what it is and how to fix it.

 

I found something new. When setting the ZOOM at 125% instead of 100% as above, I notice the underscores do not completely disappear but become THINNER but one can still see them. This affects only the underscores. When the ZOOM at 150%, they do not change at all.  Here is a movie. first part at 125%. Notice how they become little thinner when doing the same thing as above. But at 150% they remain visible because they do not change thinkness. When going back to 100% zoom, they  no longer show.

So the problem is that they are there all the time, but depending on the ZOOM level, they beome thinner and thinner until they become invisible to the eye.

 

I found some related issue on windows 10 with some application where this problem shows up.

some-characters-missing-or-cut-off-when-displayed-on-screen

 "When you view your document in Microsoft Word, some characters may be missing, or the top (or bottom) of some characters may be cut off.

This problem may affect the following types of characters:

Underscore"

The above is about WORD, but it could as well apply to Maple?

I also found  underscore not rendering with courier

"Underscore characters are not rendered in new Google Docs in the Courier
New 11pt or 12pt fonts."

My question is: How to change the font used in worksheet by Maple? Now it is using Courier. May be if I change the font, this problem will go away?

 

Update: Found a workaround!  It is the font used!  I changed from Courier to Times New Roman and now the underscore do not change thinkness!  I just need a way to make this permenant for all 1D Maple input.   Here is a new movie showing it is fixed. You can see the underscores remain visible, all at 100% ZOOM level. Once I change to Courier, the problem show up again. 

I am not sure if this is a Maple issue or windows.
