Can you post your program and a link to the 'new' font so we can try it for ourselves.

the font I have installed was fonts-Inconsolata (you will need to use apt-get to install this)
I have even set my global font on Debian to that
I have created a small test app and that is still having the same issues with the fonts

Ok I have a different display then you
My font is not showing the name just the size but if I select a font say Gambas it shows up like "Gambas, 10"
I have uninstalled and reinstall my Gambas3 and the font name still not showing
Does anyone know how i can get 3.17 to install on Debian 11

From what you say, you need to check that the new font is installed correctly. Can you use it in another program? I needed to log out and back in to finish the font installation.

Well I have just wiped the hard drive of my Debian machine and reinstall it and now it is working fine. Maybe somewhere alone the line I messed something up but I'm happy it's working now
