Fonts on IE are italic

[Cd-Writer]

heres an example:

in www.google.com, I get the buttons, and the text italic

it happens on other sites too, but not all of them, for example, this site works fine

any idea what could it be?

Check your Tools > Internet Options.

Also check View > Encoding.

Try reinstalling Internet Explorer, go to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Windows Components > Remove IE

Then do the same thing but add it.

Hope it fixes it.

Searched on google, nothing matches the description of your problem.

I couldn't find anything on this, except I only can think of one thing.

You, or someone else has loaded a custom CSS file that changes the font properties of all webpages, thus overriding the website's own CSS. This feature is used mainly for disabled people who may have sight problems and loads this custom CSS file to override the fonts to make them bigger or such.

AFAIK, this is done from somewhere in the Accessibility Options, are you sure you haven't played around with that and accidently changed something?

More digging around, I found another cause of the problem:

If the Arial font was somehow deleted from the C:\WINDOWS\Font\ folder, Internet Explorer attempts to use the next font after Arial, which would be Arial Italics or Arial Bold. Have a look in your fonts folder and make sure you have: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, and Trebuchet MS
