I tried to continue discussion in the thread Why VS11 Help Viewer 2.0 has ugly mono font? at qa.social.msdn.microsoft.com, but to no avail. It says "Unexpected error" when I try to post a reply. So I started a new thread here. More than that, the similar thread here has been closed.
Unfortunately the problem still hasn't been fixed up to this moment. Is it so hard to fix? Or maybe the problem only affects the Russian locale, so MS doesn't care? It's sad...

I finally find a way to work around this without affecting my IE experience.
Thank you for your workaround. However, I don't understand why you say that "it doesn't affect you IE experience". If you "ignore font styles specified on webpages" and use your own CSS to style the webpages you open with IE, it has to affect all the webpages you open, am I right?
