Second thread of the day - oh dear! The problem - for the last couple of days, the text on many websites has suddenly become italicised.This is a major problem, mainly because it gives me a really bad headache. I think it must have been something I did because it happens on Google (all of the search results are italic); Bit-Tech main page (excluding titles) and content, but not the forums etc. I have tried switching from Firefox back to IE7 and the problem still exists there in exactly the same way, leading me to think that I must have accidentally changed something. Now I don't remember changing anything. I have installed Dawn of War Soulstorm, installed two screensavers (and since removed them) and that is all I can think of. I have been through the "Classic appearance settings" in the Vista Personalisations settings and nothing there is marked as italic (there is an option for it on quite a few things). Edit: just noticed it is also doing it in some emails in Outlook - possibly when the sender hasn't specified a specific font I am completely stumped, does anyone have any suggestions?
In your Windows/Fonts folder locate "Arial". It's probably broken. I've had this happen several times (right now as well actually). I just copied arial.ttf from somewhere else and now (since file name isn't same as default) I only have Italics on the winxp welcome screen but it works everywhere else
Found you a couple threads that should be able to help you out: http://blogs.dotnethell.it/vincent/...ages-display-text-in-Italics-style__1675.aspx http://groups.google.com/group/micr...1e4295b8c8b?lnk=st&q=&rnum=1#a259e1e4295b8c8b Edit: They say the same as I did above. Don't start messing about in your registry as it won't do any good to solve it. Just get arial and verdana from either your xp cd or teh interwebs and install them to you windows/fonts folder.
Awesome, thanks Working brilliantly now, I am so grateful I go now read the rest of the nForce 790i article without copying it into Word first! edit: yes, this made me very happy.
You're most welcome I don't know why Windows XP corrupts arial.ttf on almost a regular basis though... perhaps it's because it's being read all the time or something. The most used file on windows
