From InfoWorld: There's a new security patch for Windows that's undocumented but appears to fix a known problem with one of last week's Black Tuesday patches. It isn't clear at this point if the re-issued KB 3013455 solves the problem all by itself, or if it has to be augmented by the undocumented KB 3037639.
One of the February Black Tuesday patches, MS15-010/KB 3013455, had an acknowledged side effect. Although the patch was (yet another) Windows kernel mode driver update, the KB article stated that:
After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios.
There's a lengthy thread on the Microsoft Answers forum that details the problem. Particularly for Vista and Windows Server 2008 users, and apparently for XP users, the "text quality degradation" can make it very difficult to read text in Courier and other simple fonts in Windows system programs, browsers, and other apps. Programmers -- who tend to work in environments with simple fonts -- were particularly vocal. Suggested workarounds included changing fonts where possible.
