Once your system is backed up just double click the script file to run it. It’s unlikely you will need to, I’ve used this file many times on different computers with no problems, but it’s best to be on the safe side. Before running the file, create a restore point, back up your files and create a system image so you can restore your computer if you need to. Deleting or changing the wrong keys can mess up your Windows installation so proceed with caution. The registry contains essential configuration settings that control how Windows works. WARNING: before running this script you should be aware that changing windows registry keys should not be undertaken lightly. Make sure you copy it exactly as is, including the first line detailing the Windows Registry Editor Version. Give it a suitable name and save it with a. Then create a blank file in Windows Notepad and copy and paste into it the script above. It will take a minute or two for windows to download and install the fonts. In Windows, navigate to settings→apps→apps & features→optional features→korean supplemental fonts and click install. Line three of this script does the same as Step One above, the other lines accomplish Step Two by setting to empty strings the addresses for Windows default Segoi UI font and then telling Windows to use the Dotum font instead.īefore using this script you need to install the Dotum font: "Segoe UI Semilight Italic (TrueType)"="" This is the registry script I use: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 In the script below just replace the word “Dotum” with “MS Sans Serif”. If you want an alternative you can try the MS Sans Serif font instead. It doesn’t bother me, rather that than Windows’ hideous, blurry, eyestrain inducing fonts. The only slight quirk I’ve come across is that in some places the separator in file paths gets replaced with a strange w with a line through it. On my display it looks very nice: clean, crisp and sharp with well-defined characters. The bitmap font I use is the Korean Dotum font (no you don’t need to read Korean). You can do this manually but it’s much safer and easier to use a registry script, which can also do Step One as well so the whole process can be completed with a few clicks of your mouse. Instead you have to go into the Windows Registry (a database of Windows configuration settings) and delete some information so that Windows can’t find its preferred Segoi UI font and then change another registry key to tell it to use your bitmap font instead. You can’t simply choose to use one of these fonts because Windows won’t let you. This is an older font technology to which font smoothing / aa does not get applied. Cleartype cannot be turned off in those places but it is possible to force Windows to not use it by fooling it into using what’s called a bitmap font. Unfortunately, a different type of font smoothing called cleartype will still be applied in control panel, the task bar and task manager and some parts of the file explorer. Step one disables aa in most browsers, some parts of windows, including most of file explorer, most dialogs and many third party apps. Use a registry script, as described below. You can also find this setting in conrol panel→system and security→system→advanced system settings→performance→settings. In the window that opens click in the box next to ‘smooth edges of screen fonts’ to remove the check mark. Type Win+R keys to open the run dialog and type SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe into the text box and hit enter. Turn off what Windows calls font smoothing. I don’t know what will happen if you try to run the registry scripts below on a different version of Windows. NOTE: The information below only applies to Windows 10.
