All help pages are bold text under Windows 8.

[ts4242]

I don't know if it is IE's css bug under Windows 8 or it is bad setting of my IE 10.

BTW: This is apply to all previous TOTALCMD.CHM even that come with TC 7.50

I don't remember that i changed IE default settings.

Not confirmed for TC 8.50 b14 x64 under Windows 8.1
The help file looks fine
Time to update to Windows 8.1 anyway

Not confirmed - can you post an screenshot (or send it to support at ghisler dot com), please?

Btw, it may look bold when you tap on the "Font" toolbar button, but the titles 1., 2. etc. in the contents should still be "more bold" than the titles a., b. etc.

This file contains some screenshots.

I have reset IE settings from Internet Options> Advanced tab and restart the computer, but this doesn't help.

I searched Google and found that, the bold text may caused by Arial font http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110531204151AAz4x7b

to test, i edited ie.css and replaced

div { font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small; }
with

div { font-family:Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small; }

and the problem gone!

I don't know if my installed Arial font is the one come with Windows or it had replaced by other App.

Edit:
BTW: sans-serif is also show all text bold.

Thanks for the screenshots - it definitely doesn't look like this here, neither on Windows 8 nor on Windows 8.1. Seems like you have that damaged Arial font. Have you tried to fix it as described in the above thread?

I have tried with Tahoma, but I think that it looks much worse (especially the larger titles).

Have you tried to fix it as described in the above thread?

Yes, but with simple manner, i got Arial font from XP installation, double click the file, click Install button in the Font Viewer window then answer Yes when asked for replacing the installed font.

After doing that, the help file looks as normal.

I see - maybe I should add a FAQ to the help. Did you find out during your research what is causing the bug? As i said, my Windows 8 and 8.1 installations do not have this problem.

[ts4242]

According to this discussion, it is caused by bad Arial font or maybe hardware accelerate text rendering, mainly IE show the text in bold or italic while other browsers aren't.

I think it is not related to OS or IE version because i deleted all arial fonts from VBox XP installation then installed Win8 arial font, and that caused all help pages shown in bold text under XP IE 7.


I have sent a copy of that font to support email to check it.
