[FONT=&quot]Hi all, [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I had a quick question about altering fonts in Windows 7 I was hoping someone could give me a hand with. I have a touch of OCD when it comes to consistency and am having trouble changing the system fonts globally on my machine. I have changed 80% or so of them through the registry entry (found here):

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [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)"=""
  "Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
  "Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
  "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"=""
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
  "Segoe UI"="CUSTOM_FONT_NAME"
[FONT=&quot]
The only issue I’m having is that the font is not adjusted in a few other places. For example, if I right-click on a file and look at the properties window, the font is still the default system font.

I’ve changed both the registry entry and the window fonts under “Personalization” to what I want but can’t seem to figure out how to change this font. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I’d be eternally (or close to it) grateful to anyone who knows how to alter this font.[/FONT]

The answer was to modify these entries in the registry:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
