Hi guys.
I have recently upgraded from 6.3 to 7.25 in an effort to make use of full UTF-8 support. However, I noticed that with this version, there is no way that I can get my client to render Japanese in the way that it used to with 6.3. I've used Verdana size 9 for all my messaging needs for many years now, and only now has it changed for the worse.
Following is a screenshot that outlines what I mean:

I apologize if this is not a bug, a known bug, or otherwise a "feature" of the current mIRC. I would however appreciate any feedback that would help towards alleviating this problem. Unfortunately changing fonts is out of the question, as I've become very used to reading this font over the years. If it proves to be unfixable, I'll probably just have to stick to an older version of mIRC.
