Record who the OWNER is at the top of the panel. , Notepad key, right-click, Permissions, Advanced button. Okay, then, here's the last resort before you back up the two keys (Notepad in User and DefaultFonts in Machine) and wipe 'em one at a time, with reboots in between.īefore you do that, please go to the User. If we're batting zilch again, we'll look at changing permissions, cuz your registry isn't saving your changes to those keys.

Shut down, start up, check and post when you have time. Now repeat the regedit drill: confirm that lfFaceName is Consolas in CURRENT USER, then go to LOCAL MACHINE and confirm that lfFaceName is Consolas, and if not, CHANGE 'er to Consolas. Shut 'er down, wait 30, start up again, open Notepad, type a word and confirm that it's in (ugly old) Tahoma still.Īssuming it is (cuz I've no idea why it wouldn't be), click Format, Font and change it to Consolas 10. Now back up (if you hold the left arrow key down or tap it a bunch of times - either one - you'll collapse all the open keys and get to Computer fast) to Computer and open it to Local Machine, soft, Mic, Notepad, Default fonts, double-click lfFaceName and change the value to Tahoma.

If not, double-click lfFaceName and change the value to Tahoma, and OK. Open regedit and confirm that CURRENT USER, soft, Mic, Notepad shows Tahoma as lfFaceName. Open Notepad and change the font to Tahoma.
