Trajan Pro is an Adobe font that was installed with the Master Suite/Photoshop.

SecureCRT was literally the first program I installed after the Windows 7 Ultimate install, and I noticed the issue immediately.

I'm going to spend some more time on it and see if I can't figure it out.

Huzzah! I figured it out.

After reading http://msdnrss.thecoderblogs.com/200...t-dynamics-gp/

I started looking into how Windows sets the OEM_FIXED_FONT constant, and found some interesting registry entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize\SmallFont lists the actual .fon files Windows uses for various things.

After getting a friend to send me an export of their GRE_Initialize registry folder, I noticed the difference of "OEMFONT.FON"="vga850.fon" (on mine) and "OEMFONT.FON"="vgaoem.fon" on theirs. Changed the key, rebooted and all is well. The one true font has been restored.

For anyone else who has this problem, here's a .reg you can use to fix the default fonts in Windows 7.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize]
"DisableRemoteFontBootCache"=dword:00000000
"LastBootTimeFontCacheState"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize\LargeFont]
"FIXEDFON.FON"="8514fix.fon"
"FONTS.FON"="8514sys.fon"
"OEMFONT.FON"="8514oem.fon"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize\SmallFont]
"FIXEDFON.FON"="vgafix.fon"
"FONTS.FON"="vgasys.fon"
"OEMFONT.FON"="vgaoem.fon"

Thanks for all your help Mike, I apologize for thinking this was a SecureCRT issue, I hope I didn't waste too much of your time!
