I finally figured out the solution to the font corruption problem!! The problem was that the Microsoft Security Update for Windows (Vista, and others) KB3013455 (MS 15-010) downloaded on Feb 11, 2015, causes 'Courier New' font corruption. This affected my Mathcad software, and my WORD software. The solution: once I removed this update, the font was no longer corrupted in both Mathcad and WORD!!!!

If the zoom is at the normal 100% this it what it looks like (see above). However, if you print the above it looks fine. And if you zoom the above to 125 % it looks fine.

Have you tried looking for newer versions of your video drivers?

No, I have not. I have been using this software Mathcad 14 for the past 5 yrs without any such problem. I wonder what happened to cause such a problem?

Because it was working perfectly fine just one week ago, I think I will first try a system restore (maybe an windows update messed it up).
