Hi, would just like to say that i used this hack.

I found one problem, users of flash cs4 usually WILL NOT be able to boot flash cs4 whilst this mod is active.
(program glitch not mod glitch)
So if you use this reg mod i would recommend creating an anti-mod first. This is easily done by backing up the registry and locating the fonts that are changed with the mod and creating a registry patch which sets them back to default. (well, if you want to for any reason)

worked like a charm. I “accidentally” deleted the font mapper files in the Vista 64 registry while trying to fix another Acrobat problem and was having problems with large fonts, your fix fixed it just fine, thanks! Acrobat still wont make a pdf because it thinks it cant find Courier, which is installed, but that’s another problem.

I used this registry fix to make Valve’s steam work again - however there is one big problem…

Have you tried printing a PDF document from either FoxIt or Acrobat that uses any of the fonts that the patch substitutes for? Good luck reading it, it comes out all garbled! The only way I was able to fix it was to reverse this registry patch and now they both work fine again.

So thanks, but ultimately perhaps the thing to do is to actually install the fonts that are missing.

Hi and thank you Chris

This is from far the best and complet font fix for Vista. It also work on XP for those who want to have a vista like font without using a theme and a special .dll

Question: What the way to increase the default system font size (from 8 to 9 or 10)? Start menu: All Programs & Outlook 2003/2007: All mail folders panel, rely on the system font. Changing the font size in the Display advance properties Icon has no effect for that matter. I am not looking to change de dpi either.

Hi there,What I really want is to be able to change the fonts in the vista mail address box.
I’d like to make them more funky and noticeable.
I’m not a computer geek so if you have any fixes can you make ‘em a little on the simple side.
Thanks.
T.G.
