Re: font problems in conversation window

I keep seeing all these suggestions to turn off or uninstall Messenger
Plus and other additional programs - but I don't see a solution for
people that don't have these third party apps installed.
Here's my case: I've got Windows Vista RTM (enterprise edition) and
Windows Live Messenger installed on that machine, no third party apps.
That said, the problem is that NO MATTER what font size I specify on my
settings (to be applied on my conversation window) it always comes up
to 10 pt font. I'm not sure why. As far as I know this is only
happening on Windows Vista. I have WLM installed on Windows XP and it
works just fine. When I set my font type to be Tahoma in 8pt font...
it stays that way.... whether I open a new window or not. That's not
the case with my current situation in Vista. Highly aggravating.

And yes, I did send mail to the product group - didn't hear anything
back from them as far as whether they're even aware that this is a
problem.

For those of you having similar problems ... mine was cause by Smiley
Central. I had recently downloaded this program (which didn't work) and
when I removed it my font returned to normal.

Hi,

I have Windows Live Messenger 8.0 and I am having problems with the
font that is displayed in the conversation window. No matter what I set
my font preferences to the font in the conversation window shows up as
black Arial (default). Also the font of the people I am having the
conversation with shows up as the default arial text no matter what
font they are using. However, my font shows up correctly in the box
while I am typing and it shows up correctly on my contacts conversation
windows. I've have tried several times in uninstall and reinstall
messenger but this does not fix the problem. Any suggestions?
