Fix for small fonts in console programs for Windows 8/Server 2012
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 02/27/2013 11:01 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Microsoft has released an update to fix an issue with the fonts in console programs in the multilingual versions of Windows 8 and Windows Sercer 2012
Consider the following scenario:
You have a computer that is running a multilingual version of Windows RT, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012.
You configure the computer to use your local language during the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) process.
You use the "Refresh your PC" feature to refresh your computer.
In this scenario, you experience one of the following issues:
You cannot start any console programs (for example, Cmd.exe or Powershell.exe). Additionally, you receive the follow error message:
0xc0000142 (STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED)
The fonts in all console programs become too small to read.
Notes
This issue occurs when you select one of the following languages:
Central Kurdish (Iraq)
Sindhi (Islamic Republic of Pakistan)
Chinese (Simplified, PRC)
Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan)
Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong S.A.R.)
If the OEM manufacturer changes the dots per inch (dpi) setting in the Windows Setup unattended answer file, you cannot start any console programs.
If the OEM manufacturer does not change the dpi setting in the unattended answer file, the fonts in all console programs become too small to read.
