I recently noticed that some of the fonts in the Accu-sim menus have become very tiny, regardless of the aircraft:

I have no idea what caused this, but I think I started around the time when I installed the latest Core Update. Perphaps you have an idea how to fix it withou me having to reinstall everything. That would be much appreciated.

Seems you have wasted to much fuel with the addons. Accusim now reduces the fonts to save weight for your flights ...

And no, I'm sorry, but I have no idea.

Have you added any new aircraft or other addons that may have either
overwritten, changed or corrupted any font files?

That is the only thing I can think of at the moment that could affect
your menu fonts.

Just to add to the above, this is system fonts so it could be anything that you have added to the pc, or installed, uninstalled etc not just FS related. Have you chaanged your desktop font setting or DPI recently for example?

I can't think of any software that could have done this and no, I haven't changed my fonts or dpi settings. What's the name of that font?

Ah! Thanks, Lewis. That was the crucial hint that made the penny drop. I didn't change my settings, but now that you said that the font is Courier I remembered that I installed a "Courier Medium" font a few weeks back for a small screenplay project. I totally forgot about it. Now that I deleted that font the Accusim Menus seem to access the Courier New font again that comes with Windows 7. Everything looks okay again.

I suppose the menus access the first Courier font that they can find in the font list and since "Courier Medium" comes before "Courier New" in the alphabetic sorting it probably picked that one.

Thanks again!
