Go to Start -> Run, then type regedit to open the registry editor. Now navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes

Now double click on "MS Shell Dlg" and put in the font style you want as the value.

Then double click on "MS Shell Dlg 2" and again put in the font style you want as the value.

After you are finished, restart your pc. Just a note, make sure you enter a font that is installed on your computer, to see a list of available fonts, go to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts .

Hope someone will find this useful :D

it changes the default system font.

ok... is this the same as just changing the font in the appareance tab in display properties???

585901783[/snapback]

no, it changes more fonts across the entire system.

it was posted before: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=81368

;)

This changes fonts throughout the whole system. For example, look below, the highlighted bit is where the font has changed. It's not only this window, but loads of others, if you change it, you'll notice the difference somewhere.

w00t! :laugh:

Yeah, as was already mentioned, this changes the font system-wide.  Taskbar, explorer windows, ect...  Didn't notice this was already posted either (as dreamz mentioned), or I would not have posted it again.  Sorry

nah, don't worry about it. you were very helpful. not everyone knows about the tweak, so you helped all those who might've been wondering. thanks for taking the time to post it. :)

Is there any way to also set a font size? If you set it to something like Frutiger Linotype Bold, the fonts look too big in places where it's used.

Agreed. I wish to make them bigger. At 1600x1200 they are too small, but it's nice seeing a different font in those areas for once though.

The only way to achieve that is to convert the .ttf to a fixed .fon file. A .ttf font is scalable and you don't want that to happen with certain fonts, especially with pixel fonts.

That's why the font i made is a .fon file fixed at 6px.... which let you set the font up to 10px anywhere in windows but remains displayed at 6px.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
