Fair enough.
Printer: I do have a printer but it was not hooked up. The printer doesn't print anymore like it should (something mechanical broken inside :-( ) but it i can still set it up and use it and have the driver installed.
Therefore i installed the printer again (did not install it after i installed a new Windows 10 since it was a bit useless).
However, with the printer installed it does not solve the problem.
More info:
Previous setup (before the fresh install):
- Windows 10 Pro 64-bit upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
- Office: 2013
No issues
Current setup:
- Windows 10 Pro fresh with Anniversary upgrade
- Office: 2016 (there was no Office 2013 installed on this setup)
Issues: see first post
Things i tried:
Regular text editors: no problem
Office: Problems as mentioned in Word/Outlook/PowerPoint. No problem with Excel.
PowerPoint: The problem also exists in PowerPoint but the outcome is different. There the space between the capital M and the a is bigger then between the small m and the a. Also, it looks different with different font hights compared to Word/Outlook.
OpenOffice: Tried this today: Same happens inhere as in MS-Office although the result is not the same, the spacing between the letters is different but noticable. Kerning does not help (it changes the format but does not solve the problem).
Everyting i type on the internet (like in forums like this) show no issue.
I also did some tests at work yesterday: Windows 7 with Office 2007: no issues at all.
Another test i did was using other fonts:
A few examples:
In Outlook 2016 (Word is the same): All fonts have some issues, some more then others.
In OpenOffice (compare the Verdana with the one from Office 2016 !!):
