Terminal Server 2003 Font Rendering

An issue has come up with Server 2003 and font rendering when connecting via RDP.  In my case, users are running a Microsoft Access-based application and the text is very difficult to read.

In February's Patch Tuesday, Microsoft released update  3013455.  In that update, there is also a "known issues" section which mentions this exact problem of text rendering, and also link to a fix.

In my case, the fix solved the issue.
