RE-SET WIN7 to default fonts
- Right-click the desktop. Choose "Personalize."
- Click Window Color and Appearance.
- Click Advanced Appearance Settings
- Go through each item and reset fonts (where appropriate) to Segoe UI 9pt, not bold, not italic. (All the settings in a default Win7 or Vista machine will be Segoe UI 9pt.)
if all your settings here are already Segoe UI 9pt -- then you have probably inadvertently changed your ClearType settings.
ClearType is how Windows draws fonts on-screen, and depending on the screen, different settings will be needed for optimal font display.
To fix this in Win7:
- Right-click the desktop. Choose "Personalize."
- Click "Display"
- Click "Adjust ClearType Text"
- A window will pop up. Make sure its checkbox ("Turn on ClearType") is checked. Click "Next."
- Follow the prompts through the wizard, adjusting until the fonts look "right" again.
