qazwsxokmijn Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi everyone. I have quite an annoying problem on my hand here. For no apparent reason my default font for programs, such as RealTemp, CPU-z, Firefox, you name it all of a sudden became italicised or bold. Here's a link to the pic I took showing my problem:/>http://yfrog.com/1a94411345pAfter looking around, somehow my 'Times New Roman Regular' ttf file in the C:\Windows\Fonts\Times New Roman folder was missing. I confirmed it was missing after asking a friend whether or not he has such a file in his system. So I asked him to send the TNR Regular ttf file, and copied it into my Times New Roman font directory.Sure enough, I could use the regular version of the TNR font, for example in MS Word, but for some reason although all programs are set to Times New Roman, most by default, they still show the font in either bold or italic, and would not use the regular version.On top of that, it also seems the font Arial is affected as well. As you can see in the image I've linked to, as I write the post shown in the link I am using Arial and even though the italicization box is not selected, the font that is being produced is italic anyway. Does this mean there are several fonts whose regular versions have been smitten??Any idea why the regular versions disappeared into thin air just like that? And why, although the regular version has been restored, that my programs are still using the italic and/or bold version of fonts? Can anyone please suggest a fix?Thanks in advance!

AlanHo Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 It would seem that your times and Arial fonts have been corrupted. Copy the font files from another computer that is OK onto a memory stick and replace the fonts on your computer.Microsoft info on replacing fonts Click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a registry fix did the trick as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
