If you grabbed the "Windows Aero (Tahoma Font) Setup" download, uninstalling it via Programs and Features in the Control Panel will fully reverse any changes it makes to your system. If you go the manual installation route, you will have to be careful to backup any files before replacing them.

Hi - those links don't work, they have *********** where the domain name should have been. Would like to try these as smooting edges only solved part of my blurry appearance

Took me a few minutes to figure this out as well ...
I googled the last part of the URL "?246p3r27w2jp32w" and it came back with a mediafire link
Just replace the stars with mediafire[dot]com

Still a good link and the MD5 sum checks out.

It looks like mediafire[dot]com has been censored on sevenforums.com for whatever reason. I tried fixing the links in my original post, but with no success. 4spuds is right, just replace the asterisks with "mediafire[dot].com", and of course be sure to replace the "[dot]" with an actual period.

Will you be adding windows 8 compatibility to VistaStyleBuilder?

Hi Boxr,

That's something we're working on; There's a beta build for Windows 8 on the forums!

Hi all,

I've tried this program and found a strange thing: resulted font doesn't look like Tahoma in Windows XP This was the main goal I've download and installed it.

I think something works not correctly in this. Can anybody try to help me? I'm fond of thin Tahoma font in WinXP and Segoe is too ugly together with ClearType shit technology

UPD. Found the reason. I ran this prog not under administrator. Now all is correct.

Thanks...

UPD2. But somewhere fonts differ in XP and 7, for example in file context menu and in Firefox browser on the same site. Any ideas?

I don't know if this is still supported and i don't see any way to message the original poster, but something may have happened during a recent update that made the modified aero.msstyles file to not be recognized by Windows and it disables all Aero themes as well as any non-classic themes. Replacing the original theme file fixes it, but stuck with the Segoe.

Hi Cosmitz,

Unfortunately I don't think I can be of much help here. I'm running Windows 7 x64 with all of the latest updates and Windows Aero (Tahoma Font) still works. The first thing I would recommend trying would be to completely uninstall and reinstall the program. If that doesn't work, with the program uninstalled, try the manual install. Let me know how it goes.

Eric - I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this fix. It is a real life saver and is the first thing I install on every new windows 7 machine. I have just received a new work laptop and in the default configuration, it was unusable and just gave me a very bad headache. I would rather change job than work with a laptop without your solution. With your fix, everything is great again.

I really hope Microsoft sort out the font rendering for Windows 10 as it is well past due. Cleartype is a kludge that just doesn't work for many.

I recenltly installed Windows 10 Creators Update and I have this problem: the clock in the taskbar doesn't show anymore the colon but a square!
How can it be resolved?
