Guest Adam C. Adkins Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I know this question has been asked before and I reviewed all the other responses but I cant seem to get my pc back to normal. I had a motherboard replaced... when I get my pc back all the default fonts for ie, excel, etc are now italicized. I have verified that it is the arial font that was affected. How do I get it back?
Guest Circular_Spin Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 RE: Default Font Changed Hey Adam, I'm tempted to say that one of the files in your font folder is corrupt. (But you changed the motherboard, so I'm not sure how that would corrupt a file in the font folder). But it might be worth a try to flush the entire contents of your fonts folder, and replace them all with fresh new font files. (Although you might have already tried that, I suspect?) If not... then you can try it by wiping out the current font folder, and then re-copy the fonts back into the folder from another computer. Or you could run the install disk in repair mode, which should repair any faulty files, such as your fonts. Before you do anything however, I would suggest that you copy your entire current font folder into a temporary storage folder (just in case things go wrong -- at least then you will still have your old fonts back). The font folder is located in: %windir%\fonts You can also find more information about deleting/installing fonts in Microsoft's knowledge base article #314960 Admittedly however I've never had to flush the font folder before... so if you decide to do it be sure to read the article, and let me know how it works out. c~SpIn
