The issue was resolved after realizing that the font was not installed on the target computer. Once the missing font was installed, the problem was successfully solved.

I encountered a familiar issue when an IT professional swapped out a computer operating Wonderware software. Instead of seeing field descriptions, all I saw were empty boxes and numerical values. Following advice from a colleague to inspect the fonts, I transferred all Windows fonts to the new CPU. This simple fix successfully resolved the display issue, although I may have forgotten to inform the IT pro of the solution.

It sounds like the font used in the original application isn't installed on your new computer, so Wonderware Intouch 2012 R2 is probably defaulting to a different font. Try installing the font used on your old machine onto the new one, then reopen the application. If you no longer have access to the old machine or don't remember the font name, I suggest experimenting with different fonts until you find one that looks suitable.

Certainly, inconsistency in font size can occur when transferring an application onto a different system due to the different display parameters and settings. You might want to check if the required font is installed on the new computer. Also, try resetting Wonderware Intouch back to its default settings, sometimes it helps resolve such issues. If it persists, you could write a script that sets the font size upon opening. That said, ensure you are running the latest service pack, as this problem might have been fixed in recent updates.
