Any ideas on how to replace Segoe UI 9pt with Tahoma 8?
I'm not a fan of ClearType, it might work for some people/monitors, but not me and Windows 7's default font Segoe UI looks horrible without ClearType (and with it too actually). After changing all fonts to Tahoma 8 thru Personalize -> Window Color -> Advanced Appearance Settings, or even switching to Windows Classic theme Segoe UI still remains in a lot of places as the default system font, so I went into the registry and manually changed it to Tahoma, by doing this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Segoe UI"="Tahoma"
which worked beautifully, except the default Windows 7 system font's size is 9, which makes Tahoma looks pretty big. The default system font of XP and most of 7's Classic Theme is Tahoma 8, so I've been trying to figure out a way to change it from 9 to 8 to no avail. I don't think it can be done through the registry.
Has anyone thought of/tried the same thing and figured out a solution for the font size? Is there an app that can do this?
