Changing W7 System default font

[miata54]

Hello All:

I searched this sub forum but could not find an answer to my situation. Hope you can help.

When changing Desktop themes (which I do frequently), previously selected font always reverts back to the default font Segoe . I had selected Tahoma for my preference with size 15 and Bold, for all the categories listed in the customization window. I like to change themes frequently for variety on my desktop, but every time I do, Tahoma gets replaced with Segoe. It is a PITA to change all selections back to Tahoma.

I have used the below program to change the setting in the Registry, but to no avail when I change themes. Segoe replaces Tahoma every time.

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)"=""


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Segoe UI"="Tahoma"

Is there any permanent solution to keeping Tahoma as my default font so that when I change themes, Tahoma is displayed in all the customization categories and not Segoe?

Thanks

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html < if necessary include the /f switch and if this does not make any improvement then just run this switch instead /r in the command line as per Option2 [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Run these in safe mode and the sfc often best run for two to three runs – you can leave out the /r switch in ckdsk if you feel it not necessary [/FONT]
