I had that Ken and your description is spot on :-D

I found a fix online for Chrome Vista and it worked for me but I take no responsibility if it doesn't for anyone else!

go to start --> control panel --> security --> view installed updates search for or find KB3013455 installed on 2/11/15 highlight it, right click and select uninstall.

Your PC will need to restart and windows will configure the changes but all should be back to normal after that

Mine was 2/12/15 or 12/2/15 in English ;-)

If you use Windows XP or Vista and it was updated yesterday with KB3013455, then you may experience some font problems.

The worst I have noticed is when using freeBMD and clicking on the info button some of the text looks as though it has been typed using a worn typewriter ribbon.


This is taken from the Microsoft page about it:

After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem occurs on computers that are running the following operating systems:

Windows Server 2008 SP2
Windows Server 2003 SP2
Windows Vista SP2

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
