Notepad++ - Is it possible to use custom fonts?

Question

Since I use different languages (Latin and non-Latin ones) in my work and some of them (for example Cyrillic languages) have symbols that look exactly the same as Latin ones, sometimes I get those stupid mistakes which are extremely hard to find when I accidentally use Cyrillic symbol in my code instead of the Latin one.

For example, the following variable names (PHP-style) look exactly the same, although half of the characters in the second name are Cyrillic symbols (and thus have different codes):

 $iicuxiphametod vs $іiсuхiрhаmеtоd

So I've come up with idea of using for style configuration those fonts whose Latin and Cyrillic symbols have different appearance. I've found several fonts of that type - SimSun-ExtB, NSimSun, MingLiU-ExtB etc. - but the problem is that I'd like to use a font that I've created myself.

Does anybody know which fonts are used in the Notepad++? Are they it's own fonts or system fonts and is it possible to use different (non-system, user-created) font in Notepad++ (Settings->Style Configurator->Font Style) or just to edit existing one?

Solution

Settings -> Style Configurator...

select: Global Styles and Default Style

at Font Style you can then select the default font wich is (in windows) in the systems font directory.
