questions: what is the configuration file path? how should i solve it?

The application uses the standard Qt path: QStandardPaths::AppConfigLocation for its configurations.

However, I very much doubt that will fix your problem. From the screenshot, this appears to be a Font issue. The numbers are consistent with the Hexadecimal, but the digits are substituted for weird symbols. I don't know what could cause a problem like that.

The precompiled binaries are built statically with a Windows 10 VM, and shouldn't really behave differently. I can only guess that Win 11 does something weird with the fonts, or that there is a bug in Qt. Do the digits 0-9 look okay when you open the DejaVuSans.ttf font in this repository directly on your system somehow (not sure if Windows has a True Type Font previewer that you can use, otherwise you might need to install the font)?

I did some experimentation, and it seems Qt has some initialization issues on Windows when loading resources and is inconsistent how they are applied. Loading the fonts later during the startup process seemed to help for some reason, and I have included these changes with the latest v2.2.2 patch. Not sure if this fixes your weird broken texts, but let me know if it does.

A quick search yielded a very similar problem described here in the Microsoft forum. They seem to have had success fixing their problem by changing the system locale to something else and then back again.
