Hi @lizhuang2511, can you describe your problem a bit more, maybe provide an example of input file and a screenshot?

There is already some check to detect whether chinese characters are needed in pyDatView. If chinese characters are detected (using the function has_chinese_char, and needChineseFont), then the spcialFont is used in GUIPlotPanel. You can try to see if indded needChineseFont is set to true internally.

The default special font is the one that is shipped with pyDatView called SimHei.ttf located at the root of the pyDatView folder. You an try making a backup of that ttf file, and then replacing if with another ttf file (with the same name SimHei.ttf) and see if that helps?
