Nicolas,

Are you sure you are not missing some fonts from your image?

You've got at least two options:
- Try the broken dialog apps with XPPRoEmulation (www.xpefiles.com)
- On a dev machine open the app's exe with VS Resource Editor (just resource section) and see what fonts are used in the dialogs
that you can't see properly.
