Garbled characters on web console output

Hello all,

Since I upgraded WebStorm to 2019.2, the browser console on the IDE is shown with garbled characters:

The strange thing is that most of the garbled characters are originally "safe" ASCII characters, as the messages are in English.

The console output on Chrome is empty. I'm using the JetBrains IDE Support extension.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks,

Gabriel.

please try switching to the old console using instructions from https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-37624#focus=streamItem-27-3356026.0-0 - does it make things any better?

Yes, setting js.debugger.webconsole to false in the registry fixed it. Thank you for your quick reply.

must be a problem with javafx fonts rendering; similar problem - with markdown preview that also uses javafx, see IDEA-219240

Hi, I had the same problem on macOS with PyCharm 2020.1. The setting fixed it, thank you!
