  • a British phrase meaning "broken", amongst other things....

Just noticed the fixed-width fonts in my Windows Mail messages are distorted and broken-looking; a bit of web research indicates that the last MS seurity update for Vista was to blame a couple of days ago and they are "working on it".....I just noticed that the text on the "Parameters" window in Poser 2012 now has the same appearance.  Instead of waiting for MS to get their act together, does anyone know how to change the system fonts in Poser?

Tried illustrating it below but it's not blindingly obvious - most noticeable on the letter "e" in "translate", "rotate" and "scale", for example.

ui/library.xml:

 Fonts corresponds to enums: eFontSystem, eFontHelvetica, eFontCourier, eFontTimes. (sic) {it's either [0,1,2,3] or [1,2,3,4]}

ui/parmDialPrefs.xml:

Widget name="name"  widgetProcID="3"  widgetText="70:0"  textColor="-3355448"  textSize="18"  textAlign="1"  textFont="3"  textItalic="0"  

this line allows one to edit font (4 choices) and size in param list.  yours may be at  eFontSystem, which is either 0 or 1 for you.

Or simply uninstall the security update KB3013455.

That did the trick!  Thanks to both of you for the replies.  As far as I can recall, this is the first actual problem I have ever had with Vista in the seven years I have been running it!

For info - the latest Vista update (16 parts released in the UK yesterday) finally fixes this issue.
