    Latest windows update for this Vista box impacted Synapse and many other programs.
    As seen below

    Essentially the fonts (specifically Courier New) were much less readable.

    Solution: remove the update.

    Code:
    Remove/Add Program >> View Installed Windows Updates >> I added the column to display installation date, reverse sorted and found "3013455" ((this update), then Uninstalled it.
    How to Remove the update:

    Say [Yes] and uninstall the update.
    A reboot is required.

    Hmm. I haven't had a chance to reinstall Synapse on my Surface Pro. Should do that now.
