Environment
Windows 7

Cause
There is a bug in Windows 7 where in, if you have a high resolution screen at install time, Win7 will install a larger font set (125%) by default. If you then choose go back to the standard font size (100%), Windows will keep some of the large fonts even though everything else is adjusted for standard fonts, causing programs that use these fonts to break because the text will not always fit inside the Interface.

Resolution
*Warning: This article contains information about editing the registry. Improper changes to the registry can permanently damage the operating system. Always backup the registry before making any changes.*

By editing the Windows registry you can get the original, intended fonts back:

1) Open the start menu and type regedit and then press Enter.

2) Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

3) Find the value MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24

4) Change from SSERIFF.FON to SSERIFE.FON

5) Find MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24

6) Change from SERIFF.FON to SERIFE.FON

7) Finally find Courier 10,12,15

8) Change from COURF.FON to COURE.FON

9)  Restart your system in order for the changes to take effect!

The exact font names may vary depending on locale settings. Use these tables for reference: Column on the left is the key found in Registry, column on the right is the value to change to.
