Problem:

When displaying the Query Builder form and some other forms you can not read the text on some of the form button and label controls. This has been happening for windows 7 and some laptops.

The text has been formated to a font size greater than what the control ctares for and therefor eyou can not ready the actual text in the control.

Solution:

The laptop does not have the correct font file loaded and registered for MS serif fonts.

To fix the system you need to go to your windows registery editor and change the settings to new file names (changing the appropriate letter from F to E) and reboot.

```
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SSERIFE.FON"
"MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SERIFE.FON"
"Courier 10,12,15"="COURE.FON"
```

While we are fixing the MS Sans Serif font, we can also fix the MS Serif and Courier fonts. These are the Registry settings MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 and Courier 10,12,15 values in the same registry key. See the table below for the file names:
