NOAA Summary window font problem

Post by grandrouge »

Hi,

Does anyone have a solution to the following or had the same problem?

The NOAA summary pages in cumulus for the past few days are now opening on my Windows Vista computer in faded weak font. Almost like an old typewriter has run out of ink.

I have checked all my screen parameters and Firefox, java and flash are all up to date. When I copy the test and paste into this topic bow the text becomes perfectly clear!

Thanks

In Cumulus itself, yes? It uses 10pt Courier New, and the default window text colour. So perhaps something has changed that colour on your system.
