I've had this font issue for a few weeks (I'm on the Insider Preview channel so got the 2603 update earlier).

Changing the monitor resolution to 2K (and even 1K) made no difference. My normal setting is 3840 x 2160 so it doesn't appear to be related to that (for info, scale is set to 100%).

But, adding the registry setting suggested by Shane Groff did resolve it! Thanks Shane!

I'd love to know what this setting does and what it suggests about this issue.

I'll provide some more info about what I discovered that may help MS resolve it.

I did some native windows programming many years ago.  It's probably a flag to involve how something implements a native Windows function that computes the width and height of the specified string of text, or something like that.  That sounds exactly like something related to the issue.
