I have program running on windows 10 which refuses to use correct font. I could only find 3 similar cases on entire web and solutions provided are not helpful, which is driving me nuts.It appears the program in question goes to a bold fallback font which leads to text not fitting.This only happens on my win10 workstation machine, on other machines the program font displays fine.
I traced it back to "MS Sans Serif" SSERIFER.FON and SSERIFFR.FON fonts.If registry delete these system fonts on machine where program displays correctly i recreate the same result as on my workstation machine. Reinstalling these fonts on my workstation doesn't fix the issue!
Things i have tried so far:
- Windows feature to restore fonts
- Installing fonts myself. However, reinstalled fonts go into the user font folder, and my problem is the system font.
- Using registry script to restore Segoe UI fonts.
- Clearing font cache.
- Reinstalling GPU drivers.
- Installing program with fresh user profile, in case it was corrupted.
- Reinstalling .NET framework. Program requires net framework 4.0 and faults back to bold font directly in Installshield.
I could reinstall OS, but its truly a last resort for me.
