Hi,

I was deleting some fonts that I never use (because the fonts drop-down
in various programs was just too long and annoying, so I thought I'd
delete a bunch that I know I never use). One of them though, was called
Tribuchet (or something like that) and it turns out this was used by my
default windows theme. I noticed it quickly because all my windows had
no text on them. I quickly found this in the display appearance tab and
gave it Arial and now it's happy.

The side effect though is that now I have tiny minimize, maximize and
close buttons. This size of the title bar is also smaller. I can't find
where this setting is. I've taken a screenshot of how small they are. To
give a sense of scale, I ran Microsoft Virtual PC and showed the size
of the buttons inside it.

Typical isn't it. I look for ages and ages and find nothing. Then 2
minutes after I post a help message I find how to resolve it. I just
changed the "windows and buttons" to "windows classic style" and then
right back to "windows xp style" and it fixed itself (and noticed that
it didn't have the deleted font available so didn't try and use it.

Doh !!
