How do I make 1 Reg file that restores 5 custom text settings?
Windows Update frequently puts my custom text settings for these 5 fonts (below) back to their default values. This is an annoyance, to have to re-do them every time. I was wondering:
1.) How do I create a backup of the original / default values? Where are these Registry keys? (is this how you refer to them?)
2.) I have been changing them in Winaero Tweaker . . . Could I then make one Registry file that can restore all 5 of them at once?
. . . So, if the fonts go back to the default values, I think I would then just have to click the Reg file, do a Restart, and then they'd be back . . . (right?)
WinaeroTweaker does not have a way to do this:
How to import and export tweaks you did with Winaero Tweaker - Winaero . . . 08/15/17 Version 0.9 . . . 4. A number of tweaks related to advanced system appearance like "System font", "Status bar font" and so on won't be exported. The advanced appearance options are not officially supported in modern Windows versions. Importing them can cause unexpected behaviors in the OS, so I have decided to exclude them from import and export for now. Please consider configuring these options manually when required . . . https://winaero.com/blog/import-export-winaero-tweaker/
3.) If I wanted to change the font, size, or bold/non-bold, how do you know what values to change, and what they are? Is it possible to do this manually, without Winaero Tweaker?

previous laptop - Win Vista
1.) it is at an adjusted DPI of 120%
2.) the screen resolution is set to 1440 x 900
new laptop - Win 10
1.) the DPI is now set in the Registry in "LogPixels" ... I had it set at the next size up ... Medium 125%, 120
. . . I see that when you have changed this setting, though, it won't let you change the Zoom
. . . so, I have put "LogPixels" back to ... Smaller 100%, 96 (default) ... and Zoom is now set to 100%
2.) the comparable screen resolution would be 1600 x 900 ... but this seems too small
. . . so, I have set it to 1280 x 720

I have been using Winaero Tweaker to modify these 5 fonts (below):
1.) The first number is the Windows default
2.) The second number is at a zoom of 125%. If it can't be 12 pt, the necessary size is stated ... then the reason
3.) make all of these fonts "Liberation Sans," Bold
