Hi y'all 
I got Office LTSC 2021 with Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Recently I've changed the system font to MS Sans Serif by the registry method on the forum to match the font of Windows 98. This is what it looked like at first, after installed for the first time and created a new Word document. Everything was fine, and I included the font I'm using and also my desktop icons:
Then, when I opened another file, or waited a little while with the same file I was opening, this happened. Word got messed up more than Excel and Powerpoint:
The font changed, it wasn't the good old pixel Sans Serifs, but rather some ugly Segoes pushing each other and a lot of these fellas fell off the many cliffs of ![[i]](http://storage.proboards.com/6513581/images/zWWaUZTpgRXHEBiZpsJr.png) in the Options. I was cool with that. But if the file is being opened a little longer, can't tell how long, this will happen:
 I recreated this scene with Paint because it always happen while I'm busy at work, I didn't capture it but it looked worse than this. This will happen and usually I have no choice but to Ctrl + S the file and reopen it.
Also, I'm using Windows 10 21H2 with these:
- Windowblinds 10
- Open-Shell
- Couple AHK Explorer border tweaks
- Icons modified with Customizergod
I tried Office 2019 and 2016, same thing happened.
Wonder if anyone here had the same problem as mine, and how did you fix it?
Thanks y'all, wish y'all well and Happy New Year

MS Sans Serif is not a font, it is an alias.

Thanks y'all, wish y'all well and Happy New Year Try changing the font to "Microsoft Sans Serif" Thanks. With that font, the problem disappeared but I think it doesn't look good because of the smooth edges since I'm trying to get that Windows 9x feel. When I disable font edge smoothing to achieve the pixelated look, stuff like Chrome looks jagged and it's very hard to read text. |

Keep font smoothing enabled but run cttune.exe and disable ClearType. |

It worked, thanks! Do you know how to change the size of the font to 8px? The size everywhere for me is like 9px:  |
