Thanks for the swift response, Khaled!

I experimented a bit with the different versions, and I found that enabling font linking causes the font to become small when rendering japanese text. In version 7.25, I believe there is no option to disable this, which in turn causes this to happen.

Using 6.35 is fine, because I can disable font linking there. Do you think there will be an option to disable font linking in the current generation of mIRC clients, or is it out of your control due to a new design or something similar?
