Originally assigned to: @Rokt33r on GitHub.

Current behavior

First, thank you for working on Boost Note!

I used it for the first time today and encountered some issues: some Chinese characters can be displayed normally in the editor, but the rendering is "tofu" (i.e., font fallback box glyph). The four characters after # are 管理仓库 (all of them are common Simplified Chinese characters).

In Preferences > General, I tried changing the Interface Language to 中文 (CN), but the result is the same.

In Preferences > Editor, Editor Font Family is SFMono-Regular,Consolas,Liberation Mono,Menlo,monospace, which is the default value.

Expected behavior

管理仓库 should be rendered as... 管理仓库.

Steps to reproduce

Open Boost Note
Create a note
Input "管理仓库"

Environment

Desktop

Boost Note.next version: 0.8.2
OS version and name: macOS 10.15.6

I think we should allow to customize UI fonts. @xfq Btw, which font would be the best for Chinese characters?

Here is a sans-serif font stack used in a project I'm involved in, for your reference:

github.com/w3c/clreq@c545424c68/local.css (L1-L7)

They are mainly fonts that come with operating systems. The advantage of this is that it matches what the current OS uses, so it can be a comfortable look.

Hi! I have an idea. This font Consolas-with-Yahei makes Chinese characters and English characters looks good.

@CindyCyber Thanks for the suggestion. But I couldn't find any license of this font.... Do you know any other options? if you don't, I think I should make the app font configurable and write a document so users can resolve this issue by theirselves.
