  1. Wrong system font


    Hi

    I have a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, but the system font is partially wrong. It is simply too bug in many places.

    I have already made sure that the font setting is at 100%.


    Here is an example from MSSQL SMS:

    Wrong system font dadefc19-e4c0-41b4-9cf4-549c51820974?upload=true.png


    The last item "Properties" has the correct size, but everything else is too big.

    How do I fix this?

    :)

    Hello,

    I found these steps in this forum from back in 2010:

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?
