Serious Font Problem in XP SP2

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently uninstalled what I thought were some unnecessary fonts on my XP SP2 notebook, but began having serious display problems in some apps and dialog boxes, the text being either much too small or large.

I've trimmed the Fonts folder in the past with no problems, but this time I seem to have majorly screwed the pooch. Even after reinstalling all fonts, the problems persist.

I've searched Google and the MSKB on how to restore XP to its default fonts, but no success. There was detailed info in the MSKB for restoring fonts in Win98, but I couldn't find any corresponding steps for XP (wtf???)

Can anyone help me out or point me to the procedures for restoring the default fonts in XP?

Thanks!

You have restored the fonts, but you have not told Windows to use them.

In Display property page, finds the Appearance option to set the fonts,size,color there.

Just checked, that's not it. Brings up a good point I forgot to mention, tho: this problem is independant of whatever visual style I have applied, incl. Windows Cassic. Weird...

(thanks for the attempt :) )
