And if I check any of the menu shit in firefox there is these black boxes after lots of options. ( right now I am typing in firefox with this italics font shown in the SS, very lame)
I went to: desktop > properties > appearance > advanced , and changed it all back to MS Sans Serif (that is the default classic font right?). But still this shit remains.
In case you are wondering, I uninstalled left for dead and it gave these 'tahoma/arial font failed to uninstall' retry, ignore, abort. I clicked abort and this shit happened. wtf?

I agree! Parry Hotter, Pokemon, and Pep Rally are gay fonts.

you should blur out people's sn on your buddylist before people from TL start messaging them.
and i dont know how to fix your problem =X
|
wait so, you post a screenshot with messed up italic font in firefox but you say its windows' fault?
oh my gawd.....do people always have no make windows the black sheep for every problems they have?
Please provide more info what exactly is wrong (just italic in FF? or bolded things in windows? and i dunno how that spore2012 looks usually), then i can prolly help you
|
get a copy of arial.ttf from a friend's computer in c:\windows\fonts delete your copy and replace it.
edit: i can't remember if you have to restart or not though, i think you would
|
I'd say just reinstall your fonts, or something of the sort. I have to agree with JeeJee.
P.S. That is a tennis player in your wallpaper, no?

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.

ok the bolding shit is still there. I'm not sure what font that is? Arial bold?

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"
|
yes, this : "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)" has the value "SSERIFE.FON"
and yes exactly for 2nd one.
|
you dont have a "MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24" ??? without "(VGA res)"?
|

I just got home , am gonna try it. I just noticed winamp has the same shitty italics font too. 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.
|
You have dino as a friend.....
I don't know what to do about your problem but be gay about it...
|
Kennelie ,
I do?
What?

shit I must;ve missed this post. No I didn't see it.

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.
|
yea it should be in ur windows/fonts folder ofc T_T
|
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
