Why does my font look like this: http://www.hybridweb.net/~img/fontgonebad.jpg

When it should look like this:

?

I've downloaded the font (hooge 05_53) from other sources and installed, same result.

I just reinstalled XP if that helps...

*edit* the font remainds the same when used in other themes ( IE, it's the font, not the theme ).

Any ideas?

Hm... Maybe someone along the way thought that points == pixels and your screen isn't set to use 72 dpi?

The only problem is the font size, right? Try changing the font size specified in theme.rc

I think there are two different hooge fonts with the same name floating around. You may have picked the wrong one. :\
