What does not
Occasionally, text in Minecraft will appear in a strange but readable font, specifically at the world generation and loading screens.
Workarounds
What was not tested

Additional Comments
Obviously, Minecraft is a Java application. You will need to download a Java Runtime Environment for Windows. Go to java.com/download and download it. I downloaded Java 7 Update 67, but download whatever is newest. Install it, then download Minecraft.exe from minecraft.net/download and run it. This is the Minecraft launcher. It will download and play the latest stable version of Minecraft by default.
