That is simply not true about the fonts.

OK first that's not relevant to VI Client.

Second, that developer CHOSE to use WPF rather than GDI for fonts. Still not a VM Ware problem

Third, I still say you are pretty much the only one with the problem with VI Client and Windows 7, because on THIS forum there haven't been any issues reported about fonts.

Then you can change things like font smoothing, especially for LCD displays.. everything else may look ok because they are OLDER applications.

But the problem isn't affecting everyone, so SOMETHING with your machine is different.
