When I use Times-New-Roman or a default Arial as label text's font, it works fine and adapt to the font size given. But when Courier is used, it fallback to a default font size. Anyone using MT4 knows why?

On my machine (Win11) I don't have Courier, only Courier New (Bold, Bold Italic, italic, Regular) and Courier Regular.

Much thanks William, I now switched to Cascadia Mono that comes along with my Win10 and it works great
