Think you can manually uninstall KB3013455. This thread is on a financial website, but they are talking about KB3013455 and the font problem. forums.moneysavingexpert.com Yesterday, Microsoft released a Security Bulletin leading to update KB3013455 being applied by Windows Update. This has had an adverse affect on how (True Type) fonts are displayed on screen. Mainly applies to systems running Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2003/2008 SP2. If you can live with the security vulnerability, simply uninstalling update KB3013455 should restore the fonts. If, like me, you prefer to have the security holes patched, try increasing the font size using a zoom facility in whatever application/browser you are using. That should help. Microsoft is investigating the problem (they call it "text quality degradation") -- see MS15-010 where MS promise to publish updates when more is known.
