so did my fix work? it takes like 1 minute and fixed this exact problem when i had it..

I just got home , am gonna try it. I just noticed winamp has the same shitty italics font too.

Weird, I installed the arial font that was in the left 4 dead folder, and everything was blank. (lol) then I uninstalled that and reinstalled the original windows arial font and it's fixed (without retstart). Thanks for the help!

stuff is still bold in windows and bookmarks/tooltip lists though. Gonna try it with the tahomo font now.

I downloaded this huge font pack that this one particular man had in a secret special place on a secret special time frame. PS- you can never have too many fonts.

I don't know what I did but the fonts are fixed in the tooltips and the aim window now. But the bolded ugly font is still there for firefox and it's bookmarks, and pop up windows and stuff from windows.

Tahoma won't let me delete it or overwrite it.

Charlie, i don't know why you call me dense for like no reason, maybe i got ur problem a bit wrong, but you could also add more details in ur OP.

Anyway, lets not fight plz.

I can help you with ur problem:

The problem is that some registry entries got corrupted.
plz check some things:


go to "start" --> "Run..." and type "regedit"
go to path: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts" and check if the reg entry "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24" has the value "sserife.fon"

also go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes"
and tell me if the reg entry "Helv" has the value "MS Sans Serif"

I had exactly same problem some time ago with screwed fonts all over the place. Everything was fine once I reinstalled Winamp.
I swear to god, that's all what I did to fix exactly same problem. I couldn't remember at first what exactly I did until you mentioned winamp, lol

but i haven't updated or installed winamp or messed with any options for it for like a year.

This problem started when I uninstalled L4D and it asked me some shit about fonts.

ok then i guess we solved the problem:

go to path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts"

and create a new thing there, which is like every other in that folder (i dunno the exact english word because im german, maybe "string")

Name: MS Sans Serif
Type: REG_SZ(default)
value: sserife.fon

Thats it


if there are problems because the value "sserife.fon" already exists in "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)"
then change the value of that (VGA res) to "ssee874_0.fon"

if it still doesnt work use the name "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24" for the new entry

i hope its good now

what? but won't the string need to be associated with the file/font? What if I don't even have the font in the folder (I guess I could check first) But I'm not at home right now. Will try later. Thanks.

ok I created that string, but I can't find the MS Sans Serif fonts at all. Where do I get them?

ok I found this, and changed the font name back to 'MS Sans Serif.fon' http://toastytech.com/files/sansurfh.html but it doesn't seem to be working >.<

the ms sans serif font is on ur windows cd.

i tried but i couldnt find it in the interwebs T_T

Anyways if you have it, put all versions you have in ur windows/fonts folder and then do exactly what i wrote above:

go to path "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts"

and create a new thing there, which is like every other in that folder (i dunno the exact english word because im german, maybe "string")

Name: MS Sans Serif
Type: REG_SZ(default)
value: sserife.fon

Thats it


if there are problems because the value "sserife.fon" already exists in "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)"
then change the value of that (VGA res) to "ssee874_0.fon"

if it still doesnt work use the name "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24" for the new entry
