Windows 7 will install a larger font set (125%) by default, if it detects a high resolution screen at time of install. Windows 7 will retain some of these font sizes even if the user performs the actions above. As a result, programs that use these fonts will experience text overlap or cut off windows because the text will not always fit inside the GUI. More information can be found in JDE attach.
By editing the Windows registry you can get the original, intended fonts back:
- Open the start menu and type regedit and then press Enter.
- Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
- Find the value MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24
