In this day an age with widespread use of remote desktops, virtual machine and projectors a fairly common occurrence is that a desktop change display resolution. When a new display resolution is less than when the settings were last saved it has the unfortunate effect that TC loses the font settings and reverts to the default font that is very big font and in bold.
I personally prefer Regular Tahoma 8 where you can see a lot of file information in the panes. However, whenever I plug in a projector, change the window size of virtual machine, so that the display resolution is less than before, I have to set the fonts again. I understand that the TC window position may be lost if the resolution is changed, but there is no reason why the font settings should be lost.

TC losing font settings when display resolution changes

Hi. Right now, TC considers everything (fonts, sizes, positions, ...) as resolution specific. This way, one can have different settings for different resolutions.
For example I have a notebook with an external display. Without the display, TC uses small fonts. But when I attach the display, resolution increases and TC switches to a slightly larger fonts. And since there are only a very few resolutions actually used out there (in my case 3), I have a different setting for each of them.
But if you want to have only one setting for any resolution you encounter, you can configure TC that way. You have to open your wincmd.ini, add "ResolutionSpecific=0" to its "[Configuration]" section and rename one your resolution settings (something like "[1366x768 (8x16)]") to "[AllResolutions]". After next start of TC, only that section will be used for such settings.
