I installed Windows 7 64 bit a few days ago and used a BFG Nvidia 7950GT because I hadn't bought a new video card yet. The fonts looked great and were similar to the ClearType font that I was used to in Windows XP. I then upgraded to a BFG Nvidia 285 gtx yesterday and now the fonts are jagged, even with ClearType enabled.
This is driving me crazy. Anyone have a fix? I've tried unchecking and then checking the cleartype setting and I do see a difference in the font, but it isn't as good as before.
I suddenly started seeing this ugly font (see images below) on many webpages.I think this issue began right around the time I installed some other fonts, but I am not sure. Initially, I figured it was a Chrome thing but have since confirmed the issue extends to IE and Firefox, leading me to believe this is a Windows issue. By the time I tried to revert the changes via System Restore, it was too late (restore only went back a few days; maybe I need to adjust settings there?).I tried to reset the default font but Windows does not seem to respond to that. When I click "Restore to default font settings" the button greys out but nothing else happens. No dialog box and no change in the issue.
I deleted a few fonts from my font folder the other day and it seems that a few OS fonts were deleted in the process. Usually Ive got a message saying something along the lines of "this is a OS font" or "in use".Question:I noticed that my default calculator font is missing and was curious if anyone knows what font the calculator uses. I got a substituted font from the deleted one, but it looks terrible.If nobody knows the above.I went into a font deletion frenzy because I had some non-OS fonts that made my font list bulky and it took a while to scroll to the more used fonts.So I deleted some to combat this. Photoshop loads a lot faster as well due to less fonts(my little takeaway tip from all this)

If nobody knows the above. Then would anyone happen to know how to change the calculator font?

I need to install a font thats missing from W7, so I go to Google and get Microsofts answer. Go to Control Panel, click on appearance and open the Font section, then click on "File" and choose "Install a Font". However, as is typical to 40% of their instructions, its not there. There is no " Install a Font" theres everything else however, adjusting, gazing at, painting, thinking about, wondering about or even sleeping with fonts, but there is no "Install a Font" I'm sorry, but I get so annoyed with having to take my time to try to correct something and taking the time to try to find the answers and having to bother someone like you in the 'forum' to find an answer that should be there. It's just so typical of MS and I go back to DOS. So, I apologize to you, educated forum reader, that you have to waste your valuable brain power and tell me how to do this simple thing which a ten year old working somewhere at MS should be able to get correct bullet proof instructions so that a simpleton like myself can actually do it.
I've formatted my laptop a few days ago and thought that some fonts in some websites looked weird compared to before, I thought I was just being paranoid and that it was my imagination, but after a few days where I couldn't stop to think that, I took a printscreen in the other pc on the house and comparing side to side to mine it as clear as day that it's different On the left it's how mine is, on the right how the other PC is(and how it was before in mine). All I did was formatting and installing most of the programs that was installed before on the laptop, I didn't tweaked the fonts or anything. Oh, also this is not specific to a browser, the font on internet explorer or firefox looks exactly the same. I tried resetting to default and checked that the font used is Segoe UI size 9.

When using Word to print return mailing labels on Avery 8167 sheets, the font cannot be reduced to fit the label.
have a Samsung NP-QX411 Laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. About two days ago or so some of my dialogs started missing text. (See attached images.)It's not just Windows related dialogs that are missing text. Some of my programs, such as Team Viewer and Advanced System Care, are also missing text while others such as Malwarebytes are not. Also, some Windows dialogs such as Task Manager and System restore are missing text but others such as Device manager are not.I have tried updating all my display drivers directly from the Samsung website but nothing seems to be working. I want to try a system restore but, as you can see in my posted image, I cannot even run System Restore because there is no text for me to see what I am doing. I am normally really good at fixing computers
I have windows 7, Hotmail, Internet Explorer.When typing in a new email message on say font size 12, after typing the 3rd or 4th lines, the next line font size decreases to 10. How can I stop this happening.
So my Windows looks absolutely normal, except in SOME programs I have a bold font problem that I can't get rid of. I've seem to have tried all the fixes that other people have posted on the web but I cannot fix this. Programs like Ventrilo have this problem, but no where in Windows does this problem exist. url... That is what my Ventrilo looks like. I've only seen this so far in this program and Valve Hammer Editor. url...
This chinese font looks awful in english and more awful in russian:Teamviewer in not the only program that uses this font. I know it can be changed as there is another font in these lines on the other computers.Changing default language for non-Unicode programs does not help.
when I copied over fonts to the windows fonts and told it to replace the current font it didn't do what I wanted. For example I copied over a font with the name HS.ttf, and when I now look at the corresponding font it is called HS_1.ttf. I have a certain program that looks in the WindowsFonts folder for a font called HS.ttf and it currently can't find that file. I thought no big deal I'll just rename HS_1.ttf to HS.ttf. That's where I have a problem, when I try to do that it gives me the error 'Cannot rename HS_1: A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different file name.' When I do a search for a file called HS.ttf it can't be found anywhere. How do I go about finding and removing this HS.ttf and renaming my HS_1.ttf file so that my program can correctly find the font file I want it to?
Because my laptop is in FullHD res in 16inch i was forced to set font reescaling in my Win 7 64b if i wouldnt get blind :P
But i discover that if I set font reescaling to 150%, all programs which run in 32 bits mode looks like in Low res with very poor image quality. By the way if i disable font rescaling for the program (by going on properties and compatibility mode) it works and looks fine...
I've googled a bit at work and from what I read it's not standard in the Outlook Admin Templates.I've seen posts about ways to do it via reg key imports and such via GPO and I'll be able to research this some more next week...but if somebody here already knows how to do it, you might save me some research time at work. I'm just tied up with other projects right now..so I don't have time to do the research.In a nutshell, we want to set the default font for about 350 desktops via a GPO that will work in both Outlook 2007/2010.It's not necessary to prohibit them from changing the font, but all new messages will default back to the default font that is being deemed as the standard.
Here's how to disable the font renderer which delays playing a dvd while rebuilding the font cache when you use the latest versions of VLC.http:[url]....
how can i add a font to the program? the one i want to use is not included. idownloaded the right one, installed it on the computer, so it works in otherprograms, but it's not showing up in dvd maker.
I installed 10,000 fonts and it was definitely not the best idea (I suggest not to do this) since it impacted the performance of my Laptop significantly, during start up as well as programs. After removing the fonts from registry and the Font Folder, the startup and performance is almost up to speed but not as it used to be. So I am wondering, what needs to be done to bring my computer at its optimal again? I used Ccleaner, Disk Clean Up. I think the issue lies in the fact that my Font folder says it has 7,000 fonts in there when clearly there isn't.how to make it display properly and my computer back up to speed? I think it's possible there are more fonts stored somewhere which is making the display going haywire.It's unfortunate that after uninstalling the fonts, perhaps my programs are loading up and running slower than usual.
Several times now I have turned on my PC to find that all the font files in Windows 7 have been deleted leaving only Wingdings active. The only solution so far has been to do a system restore, rolling back several auto updates.Once was an anomaly - now its damn annoying.Has anyone seen this and have any suggestions or other solutions?On the upside, my wingding translation skills are improving daily
I have a Toshiba 26C100U1 26" LCD TV/monitor with the ATI Radeon HD4300/4500 Driver. The Device Mgr shows the monitor as Generic PnP Monitor. My computer is a HP Pavilion, running Win7 64-bit. I have just hooked them up using an HDMI cable, which apparently gives much higher resolution than the VGA cable I was using previously. Screen settings are now 1920 x 1080. I seem to have gotten a lot of the resulting problems fixed, but the font sizes vary enormously from one screen to another. F'rinstance, Google screens come up with huge font sizes, while other screens, such as email, are almost too small to read! I do have the resolution set to 150%, as some screens would be illegible otherwise
my font size is too large, to the point where i have to move the bottom bar on my screen to be able to read the entire page. went into tools and reduced the font size, but was unable to lock it in.
Twice now I have "done" 'adjust clear type text' to improve legibility of font in parts of Google Earth and Chrome. But THAT text is hard to read AGAIN, suggesting that the 'clear type text' setting does not survive rebooting. How to fix in Win7 Ultimate ?
I have been applying different visual styles to my machine, and I recently applied one that had a small font, which I didn't really like.. So I deleted that font from my system fonts, and then reapplied the theme (I really like the theme, except for the font used). However, now I can't view some dialogs, like the windows sounds dialog for example, as you can see in the attached screenshot below. I imagine that somewhere in the visual style, the size of the font is enlarged, so as the accomodate the supplied, smaller, font. I don't know how to change it back.. I've tried applying different visual styles, and even the default visual style (through the Personalize dialog).Does anyone know how I can change the font back to the original size? [code]
