DO you have font smoothing turned on? Are you on Vista or XP?

Go to the wb folder and find the UIS file. Open it with note pad or the like.
Change this text in the file.


[SystemFonts]
SystemMenu=0
SYstemMessage=0
SystemStatus=0

[SystemFont0]
FontName=Segoe UI
FontHeight=14
FontWeight=500

If there is any other than this here. such as

[SystemFonts]
SystemCaption=0
SystemSmallCaption=1
SystemMenu=2
SystemStatus=3
SystemMessage=4
SystemIcon=5

[SystemFont0]
Name=Imported ( Trebuchet MS, 10, bold )
FontName=Trebuchet MS
FontHeight=-13
FontWeight=700

[SystemFont1]
Name=Imported ( Tahoma, 8, bold )
FontName=Tahoma
FontHeight=-11
FontWeight=700

[SystemFont2]
Name=Imported ( Tahoma, 8 )
FontName=Tahoma
FontHeight=-11

[SystemFont3]
Name=Imported ( Tahoma, 8 )
FontName=Tahoma
FontHeight=-11

[SystemFont4]
Name=Imported ( Tahoma, 8 )
FontName=Tahoma
FontHeight=-11

[SystemFont5]
Name=Imported ( Tahoma, 8 )
FontName=Tahoma
FontHeight=-11

[Fonts]
Fontname=Denmark
FontHeight=12
FontWeight=400

Then all of this will have to be deleted and replaced with the first settings I gave you here.

This will release SKS6 from the objects that are holding the system fonts to where you can not change them with SKS6.
If you are not using Vista and are using XP replace the font name Segoe UI with Tahoma and save.
Reload the wb and then open the wb in SKS6. Change the fonts you want to change. Save and then logoff the computer. You do not have to restart. A logoff is good enough. When you log back in the system will re-read the system fonts to the proper respects and your new fonts added to the WB with SKS6 will be presented correctly.

Good luck and let me know if you need any other help.
