for our german friends:

Ich habe aus versehen einen Standard-Font aus versehen wohl geloescht. Es handelt sich um den Font, der bei Win98 bei allen Fenstern in der oberen rechten Ecke fur die Buttons "Verkleinern", Vergrosern", "Hilfe" (?) und "Schliesen" (x) auftaucht. Welcher Font ist das? Wie kann ich den bekommen? Bin umgezogen und habe leider meine Win-CD-ROM verloren. MfG

If you use XP, how about a system restore, or sfc /scannow?

This is the procedure for XP

The Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM is required to install system fonts. To install TrueType fonts you can use either the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM or a network share to the Fonts folder on another Windows NT-based computer.

To replace missing system and TrueType fonts: 1. Create a folder that is named Fonts on drive C.

2. At a command prompt, change to the i386 folder on the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM.

3. Use the expand command to expand the fonts from the CD-ROM into the Fonts folder by running the expand -r *.fo_ c:\fonts command. To expand TrueType fonts, use the expand -r *.tt_ c:\fonts command. You can also install TrueType fonts from another computer across the network, by using a mapped network drive to connect to the Fonts folder on another computer.

4. In Windows NT Explorer, click the c:\WINNT\Fonts folder, and then click Install New Font on the File menu.

5. Open the c:\Fonts folder, and then double click this folder to load the font list. After the fonts are discovered by the Add Fonts tool, choose the font or fonts you want to install, and then click OK.

The fonts should now be successfully installed. It may appear that duplicate fonts are in the Fonts folder, however, only one instance of the font appears in programs where you can choose fonts.

Note that you do need the Windows disc. I imagine the procedure and disc requirement for W98 is similar.

Do you have another Win98 computer? Or know someone that does?

If so, have them e-mail you their fonts package (might want to have a GMail account first) or simply burn them to a CD
