Reasonable to me -> New Under instsetoo_native one can git grep for "Tahoma" -- 35 lines match. However, it is not enough to replace the font, one has to check every dialog for text cut-offs, and resize controls as needed. MS documentation suggests that Segoe UI does not form correctly below 9 pt, so should be avoided below that point size. Meaning as Andras suggests for the easy hack that dialogs will need to be resized & checked to avoid any cutoff. Also, do we localize the installer on Windows builds, and does a similar font family change need to be applied for localization? Or do we depend on the localized OS to make the font substitution. I believe it is the later, but do we need any adjustments for the localization? =-ref-= https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742483%28v=vs.85%29.aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn614134%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Roman Kuznetsov committed a patch related to this issue.

I don't know the answer to this question either, but the simplified Chinese installer got bitten by this change, see bug 128674. |
