There is the same problem occurred even in Windows notepad. There are two solutions for this issue:

1. Turn on ClearType option in Windows OS.

2. If you don't want to use ClearType option, don't use Malgun gothic font in MATLAB command window. You can change the font setting by selecting "기본 설정" -> "글꼴" -> "사용자 지정" -> select "명령 창 -> "사용자 지정" -> select any other font than "맑은 고딕".

MATLAB: Does MATLAB not show any newly installed fonts since updating to Windows version 1809

The font picker issue arose because Windows 10 version 1809 added a feature which allows a font to be installed only for a specific user rather than for all users. This caused inconsistency in the Java API, which retrieves the list of all the fonts for a specific user.

There are 3 workarounds for this issue.

Workaround-1: Install the font for all users.

To install the font for all users, right-click the font and select 'Install for all users'.

The font becomes visible for all users in font picker.

Workaround-2: Copy the font to /jre/lib/fonts folder.

To copy the font to the /jre/lib/fonts folder of your system's Java install location, follow these steps:

1. Run this code in MATLAB to determine the /jre/lib/fonts folder location.

fullfile(java.lang.System.getProperty('java.home').toCharArray', 'lib', 'fonts')

2. Manually copy the font file to the /jre/lib/fonts folder.

Alternatively, you can run this command in MATLAB:

copyfile('\path\to\font\file\font.ttf', fullfile(java.lang.System.getProperty('java.home').toCharArray', 'lib', 'fonts')) % Replace 'path\to\font\file\font.ttf' with the location of the font file.

3. Verify that the font was successfully copied by running the following code in MATLAB.

dir(fullfile(java.lang.System.getProperty('java.home').toCharArray', 'lib', 'fonts'))

4. Restart MATLAB. The copied font is now visible in the font picker.

For more information, see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/change-fonts.html and https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/intl/font.html#physical.

Workaround-3: Use Settings to set the font

If the above two workarounds are not feasible due to the lack of admin privileges, and the font can only be installed for a specific user, you can set the font using settings.

Run this code in MATLAB to set the font settings:

s = settings;
s.matlab.fonts.codefont.Name.PersonalValue = '<Font Name>' % Replace <Font Name> with the name of the font.

The font name is listed in Windows Font Viewer which can be opened by double-clicking the font file or right clicking the font file and selecting 'Preview' option. Alternatively, run this code in MATLAB to determine the font name:

font = java.awt.Font.createFont(java.awt.Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, java.io.File('\path\to\font\file\font.ttf')); % Replace 'path\to\font\file\font.ttf' with the location of the font file.
font.getFamily().toCharArray'

MATLAB: Am I not able to configure MATLAB Web App Server properly in MATLAB Compiler 6.6 (R2018a)

This is an issue because we expect some English text from certain service commands in Windows. This is not the case on Korean Windows.

For example, here is the text for "sc query "MATLAB Web Apps (R2018a)"":

     SERVICE_NAME: MATLAB Web Apps (R2018a) 
             종류               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS  
             상태               : 4  RUNNING 
                                     (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
             WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
             SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
             검사점             : 0x0
             WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

We expected that "상태" is "STATE".

Please see the following steps to workaround this issue:

1) Type Windows Key + R to open the "Run" prompt

2) Type in "services.msc" and press the Enter key to open the Windows Service Manager

3) You can manage the "MATLAB Web Apps (R2018a)" service (starting, stopping) from this user interface.

4) The server is started on port 9988 by default. You should be able to see the server running at "http://<hostname>:<port>/webapps/home". We do not open the correct homepage from the MATLAB Web App Server apps because of this same issue.

For example, please type manually the port number 9988 after <hostname> in the page address.

Before: "http://kr-sji/webapps/home/"

After: "http://kr-sji:9988/webapps/home/"

Now, you can see the proper page like as below.

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

No web apps available.

Add valid web apps to the apps folder in the MATLAB Web App Server.
