Since upgrading, my Windows default font seems to have gone awry. This manifests itself mostly in HTML, so affects IE, Edge, Steam and SimSig (Loader versions) mainly! It is a very widely spaced font, with some oddities (such as leaving a space after a capital 'I' and generally doesn't scan well. I know it isn't a specific SimSig issue, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Looks like perhaps it's somehow using one font but using the metrics (ie the character spacing) for a completely different font. I don't know much about typography, though, so I might be way out. Perhaps one of your font files somehow got corrupted or deleted in the upgrade and it's having to fall back on another for some characters? That's my best guess.

In Windows 10, at the command prompt, run SFC.exe. It may fix your problem. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |

Ran it, corrupted files detected but not all of them could be fixed. It hasn't solved the issue unfortunately.

For what it's worth, and for the benefit of this community's knowledge set, I had to run "sfc /scannow" at the command prompt in Windows 10 as an administrator, with Outlook not open in order to cure Outlook 2013 not "seeing" the internet to send e-mails. Having run that I got a cure for Outlook and I see the train listing on Saltley (the only sim I've looked at on Win10, and I didn't look before running the command.). My chum on Microsoft's payroll says it isn't yet clear to them why some upgrades need to do this and some don't. Log in to reply |
