MS Sans Serif font is bigger

Hey Huseyin,

Step 1:

Make sure you have set the correct DPI [dots per inch (DPI)] setting and also the right Clear Type.

Refer the below links to do the same:

Step 2:

Try the registry fix mentioned in below:

The Registry setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts\MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24

is set to SSERIFF.FON on a system which started at 125% DPI. The setting is set to SSERIFE.FON on a system which started at 100% DPI. Notice that one character of the file name changes from F to E. The actual font files used might be different on Windows systems for other languages or code pages.

To fix the system you need to change the settings to new file names (changing the appropriate letter from F to E) and reboot. 

Note: The registry changes do not take effect until the system has been restarted. You MUST reboot after making the registry changes.

Below are the contents of Font Fix.reg file to make the changes for an English system:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

"MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SSERIFE.FON"

"MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SERIFE.FON"

"Courier 10,12,15"="COURE.FON"

[Click on start, in the search bar, type in as regedit.exe and hit enter.]
