Packet bytes font size prohibits view of ascii
In v2.6.4 on Win10, the packet bytes pane seems to scale up the font (versus Packet List and Details panes). As a result, only 1-2% of the ascii data is visible. Different fonts (Consolas, Lucida Console) result in slightly different observations, but all are dysfunctional. If I export the frame to a text file, all the data is visible and available.
Any idea how to correct this?
What font and size are you using? Cam you share a screenshot of the offending pane, include all the pane borders in the image?
I am using Consolas 10.0. I have also tried Lucida Console 10. From the Preferences > Advanced dialog, I observe "gui.gtk2.font_name Default Lucida Console 10" and gui.gtk2.font_name Changed Consolas, 10, -1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,0".

So you're using the GTK GUI? Have you tried the Qt one? Note that 2.6 is the last version to have the GTK UI.
You can put the image on a public file share (e.g. Google Drive, DropBox etc.) and post a link back here.

That link seems to need a password. You'll need to make it publicly viewable.

BTW, from all my looking, it seems all 2.* versions use Qt. Is that correct? How can I confirm the version I'm using uses Qt? (Sorry for my ignorance.)
Ignore my GUI comment, I was confused by the preferences, you seem to be using the Qt version.
To see version info, go to Help -> About Wireshark and it's on the Wireshark tab. You can highlight the text and copy it to the clipboard and then paste it here in a comment.
Those preferences might be old one from a GTK install. Is this a brand new install, or have you upgraded from an older version?
You might try creating a new profile (Edit -> Configuration Profiles ...).
I had the same experience on 2.6.3 and 2.6.4. When I installed 2.6.4 (today), it facilitated the uninstall of 2.6.3 prior to the 2.6.4 installation.
I CREATED A NEW PROFILE AND EVERYTHING WORKED! I cannot believe the font is the actual change since (I think) I manually changed the font to match the default - without success. Actually, I can change to ANY profile, and it works! I cannot duplicate my problem any more. Since this morning, I have restarted my computer. Hmmm. WIndows...
For the record, below is everything from my Help > About dialog. It confirms I'm using a Qt version.
