Italic Text

[Guest]

This is probably a dumb question, but I wonder if anyone can help me:

All of my text seems to have changed to italics. For example, when I shut
down I get the normal blue screen with the XP Pro logo and the text that says
"Closing network connections", "Windows is shutting down" etc., and it is in
italics.

Also, most web page text appears in italics as well - text that shouldn't be
in italics.

Could anyone tell me how to turn it off?

Cheers.

Fix Constant Italics/Font Problem - 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\CurrentVersion\Fonts],
you can also double check the path of each font and look for any
suspicious paths.
