The idea is to take the MS Sans Serif (120 DPI) font and modify it to even larger scale by removing sizes 16 and 20, thus forcing Windows to use much larger fixed size font for system dialogs and old 3rd party app. It involves creating my own large raster font based on MS Sans Serif 120 (SSERIFF.FON), by using a bitmap font editor “Fony” by Joel Toivonen. There’s a more elegant solution that I’m using myself. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes NOTE: Don't touch Segoe Script Bold and Segoe Script! Rename: Small Fonts (120) (SMALLF.FON) → Small Fontsĭelete: Every Segoe UI font family member, except for: Segoe UI Symbol HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts Note #4: Always make backup of your registry and/or create restore points.

Note #3: Google, find and install these fonts (they are free): Google Roboto, Arial Medium. Note #2: I’d recommend using Registry Workshop app instead of standard Windows Registry Editor… Note #1: I’m assuming the reader has admin rights and a certain level of technical knowledge. The simple solution that can be applied is as follows: Anything beyond that gets blurred and up-scaled… There are 2 variants of these fonts: standard – for 96 DPI and large - for 120 DPI.

Many Windows 10 core components have migrated from earlier versions of Windows and still are using old raster fonts like MS Sans Serif, MS Serif, Small Fonts etc. In late 90s, when I myself was developing in VB and VC, 99% of all programmers around me were using default raster fonts without knowing or understanding what problems they would eventually cause in the feature….

When I’ve started using Windows 3.1 back in the early 90s, those fonts were heavily used and relied upon by the software engineers. Raster fonts are fixed size bitmap fonts that cannot be properly up-scaled, without creating mess and blurriness. I see many people straggling constantly with the mess MS made over past few decades with the raster fonts that till this day are still present and being used in various core parts of the Windows OS. But I accept the trade.įirst of all let me apologize for any mistakes and misspells I'm about to make, since I'm not a native english speaker. The only real downside of this aside from having segoe ui font been broken is that because the main UI is more readable, those apps that use skinny fonts (especially old nirsoft apps), will look comparitvely horrible, the better stock font will highlight that more. This left me with outlook bold to fix, and I ended up using Arial and Arial bold for outlook, like Shawn said Arial bold is close to Segoe UI semibold (nearly every other font bold is over powering). So I ended up leaving the black version's in place, I put in the semibold italic font in the italic boxes for light, semilight etc. So from my testing you only need to blank 3 values, the main font, the bold version and the bold italic version. If the system fails to find the main segoe UI font, it will fallback automatically to the bold version, if that is missing it then tries the bold italic version, if that is missing it will then finally use the font substitute. I did notice however that if you just blank out all of the segoe ui stuff it affects outlook, as it uses the italic and bold fonts which both also get diverted to the semibold, so I left those values in which fixed outlook but then discovered something else (which likely explains why the tweak blanks them all out). Like what many said I like the Segoe UI semibold font as a replacement.
