Default font style in XP changed into ITALICS
This is a massive problem. The basic fonts in XP (Applications, buttons, web
fonts) are normal. But they turned to italics on my system. Also, when I use MS WORD, I cannot turn them into normal - they are also in italics or bold in the daily basis. How can I turn them back. Is it a virus or registry problem? |

Also, when I use MS WORD, I cannot turn them into normal - they are also in italics or bold in the daily basis. How can I turn them back. Is it a virus or registry problem? This usually means the font is damaged or missing. Here are a few possible fixes: 1. When a rogue program decides to install its own version of system fonts, it may replace the original version of the font file with a shortcut in the font folder. Once this program is uninstalled, the shortcut may now point to a font file that no longer exists. Windows XP in turn reacts by turning all unspecified fonts into italics upon next reboot.The simple way to fix this is to delete all shortcuts in the font folder and replace them with the actual font file. By going to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Fonts], you can also double check the path of each font and look for any suspicious paths. ***** 2. If Arial (and possibly other system fonts) will only show in italics after installing XP SP3, it is because SP3 replaced them with a newer version. Go into the /Windows/$NTServicePackUninstall$ folder to find the older versions and replace them. Delete the Arial version that is there first.
