| Tip: You can customize the status bar in certain apps that respect the system setting with Winaero Tweaker. It gives you an easy to use GUI for that. I was just on their website.

OK, I just found a workaround: The status bar font in Windows 7 is the same as the tooltip font, which was set to Tahoma 8. I just changed that to Tahoma 11 bold. What an improvement!  |
