I cannot confirm this with a VC2008 build, please double check with a VC2008 (official) build from builder.blender.org

Most likely this is caused by caching different font sizes, which can use a very very large amount of memory.

We really need to look into a fix for this.

Checked and from zooming in and out on a panel I was only able to use ~21 fonts (that is I could only get blender to cache 21 different fon't scales by zooming),

So it seems strange this would use so much memory (on my system was <10mb extra).

Committed 2 fixes for issues I found while investigating, but think its unlikely they fix this problem you're having.

@lopataasdf Can you redo this bug with factory settings? (just incase some addon causes this)

I load factoy settings, restart blender and problem disappeared, but I do not know what led to the problem

Activating international fonts give this problem

Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Resolved'

Fixed in d358f1f9e7, thanks for the report. :)
