A few days ago I installed quite a few new fonts on my computer. I am not sure what happened, but now, it doesnt matter what web page I open, or e-mail that I get or send, and even when I try to reply on a forum, all of the text EVERYWHERE is this wierd font that is completely illegible. I have tried changing fonts on my e-mails and on forums, with no success. It does not go away. Can someone please assist me in fixing this problem.
I am running on XP, (on a laptop), Using Firefox.

All I did was download a bunch of TTF files and droped them into the Windows Fonts file. Is there somewhere that could have changed the default fonts for web sites and e-mails??

Set Default XP Font Back to Tahoma (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/defaultfont.reg) (click)

See other scripts here (http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:LoWuFjE2WrIJ:www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm+restore+fonts+vbs&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3)

You might also want to replace that whole folder with one from another PC, then run this script. If that doesnt work, try reinstalling SP2.
