Tiny Fonts

Something changed in Windows 7 that is showing "tiny" fonts within various programs. It is not the programs themselves since it happens in unrelated programs. Also many of the programs fonts are just fine, only a select few are very, very small. Within Windows XP the fonts are just fine.

I'm suspecting that either some install deleted or changed a particular font. I tried System Restore, but no help.

If anyone else has experienced this phenomenon I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Would a "Repair" process as shown on this forum fix fonts?

Thanks. Jim

I did try to restore the default fonts and here is what happened ....

I clicked on the Restore Default Fonts and the button went gray as one would expect. Then nothing. I went out to walk the dog and 5 minutes later the button was still gray and no indication anything was happening. Since I never used this button before, I really don't know what sort of response I'll get when completed, but I would say it isn't working.

I hope no one else runs into this "tiny font" problem, but I did correct it.

I used the instructions at Repair Install . It is kinda like a "reinstall" and it refreshed everything including my font problem. Didn't seem to affect anything else I had in place.

I appreciate the input from the other forum members

I went through the same problem and, finally, found a very simple solution: just added the font folder to the PATH system variable (in my case, "C:\windows\fonts"). ¡That was all!

Hope it will be helpful for others confronting the "tiny fonts" issue.
