MS Word 2010. Excel table font changing.

I'm not fully sure how describe the issue, but will to the best of my ability.

We have a system here that, when editing a table in Word 2010 after any edit or leaving the table, it changes the font. The toolbar doesn't seem to show any change. It appears to bold and becomes near unreadable and seems to reduce a the gap between the characters.

I am just about out of ideas as to what is happening and how to repair this. We have other computers opening the file(s) with no issues. 

I've tried restoring the settings to default, running the fix-it tool to restore defaults, wiped the word entry in the registry as well as the entire Office key. I've also removed the templates in appdata. It just appears to be this one system, no matter the account. I have also uninstalled and re-installed the Office twice now. 

I've also checked for missing fonts and Everything is fine and no errors are there.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
