Suggestion: Auto-switch UI font when the language is set to Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) #4077

Description

@PYCHBI

When changing the software language to zh-CN, the default UI font is set to "Default (MaterialDesign)". This causes the text to display Japanese glyphs instead of proper Simplified Chinese characters, making the rendering look inconsistent and incorrect.

My suggestion: when the user switches the language to zh-CN, the software should automatically change the UI font to Microsoft YaHei (or something else). Since this font is natively included in Windows, it is guaranteed to be found with zero risk.

I noticed issue #3638 regarding the option to change the UI font. Manually changing it to Microsoft YaHei completely resolved the glyph issue for me. However, though this feature is useful, taking it a step further to auto-switch fonts upon language change would provide a much better out-of-the-box experience.

After all, simply switching to zh-CN currently results in incorrect fonts by default, and many users might not even realize they can fix this by manually changing the font. Forcing them to do this is just an unnecessary extra step.

Thanks!
