    All the text is screwed up!!

    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.

    Did you go to Control Panel to try to delete those font(s)?

    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 (click)

    See other scripts here

    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.
