RE: cant see text on the buttons
They belong to the european languages family (or something like that). There are something like 6 language groups used in Windows, and it might/will/can depend on this. So changing English to Italian isn't going to change anything font-wise anyways. And thus comming to the conlcusion that it can't have something todo with the local language/settings is wrong.

Everything is explained in KB articles and/or on TechNet and/or MSDN though (waaaaaaaay better and accurate than what I could try to explain).

So, if you have some time, start by reading the KB article posted by Menthix. From there look up stuff in Microsoft's MSDN library and TechNet library concearning MS Shell Dlg, codepages, local settings, dpi, etc...

Even if I understood it all in great detail it would still be too much to (even try to) explain. Everything is interlinked to eachother in a complex manner. So best is to look stuff up for this and do some extensive reading.


For stuff like this (and if we take Patchou's word it isn't a rendering problem) it could even be a real but rare bug in Windows for all we know... Unless someone accidently stumbles on the method to reproduce this, I think it wouldn't be solved anytime soon...

But what we shouldn't do is jumping to conclusions like AngelDevil did, as the matter is waaaaaaaaaaaaay more complex than that.
