KB3013455 has been found to be causing Display Font problems for Windows 
Vista and Server 2003.

A partial mitigation is to use ClearType Font Smoothing.  It will greatly 
help but will not fix all Display Font viewing problems.

Right-Click on the Desktop.
Choose "Personalize" ---> Window Color and Appearance --> effects
Check the box for; "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen 
fonts"
Set it to; ClearType

It is recommended to remove this HotFix  and then hide it from further 
download ( at least until it is fixed ).
