I haven’t worked on Windows in quite a while, but IIRC one problem is there are three different font renderers in there. And nobody ever goes back and fixes old parts of Windows when new ways of doing things are invented. So it’s pretty easy to end up with a screen showing as many as three different renderings of three different system fonts.
I used to have a fun way to demo this where you dive through the archaeological UI and rendering eras (including XP-style control panel, with a hideous sidebar link hover rendering bug that I don’t think ever got fixed) until you end up at the iSCSI control panel, which I think may be literally unchanged since the year 2000.
