Re: change font

12-18-2007

At what point will you give people the ability to choose their UI font?
Don't you agree even the slightest bit that, after all of the beta hours
people put into testing WLM, it was a bit underhanded to change the UI font
in the final version and not give people the ability to change it back? This
obviously made a lot of people unhappy and in my case I wind up only having
like 1/4th of the messages displayed in the list with Segue.

I was so upset that I did a System Restore and have traded the bugs in
version 1174 (i.e. not being able to view my Outbox) over looking at that
font.

Sincerely Disappointed

This is perhaps the number one request for WLM. Microsoft knows about it and
hopefully they will fix it in an upcoming release.
Until that point I'm afraid there is very little we can do.
