Default font

Hi,

I have a problem where some of my fonts appear corrupted in a tab control.

I think the problem is that the default font has been removed and installed
again. And in this process, windows default font has changed to another
font. This "new" default font doesn't appear readable in the control.

It's not my PC, so i don't know exactly what has happened. But i think it
has something to do with default font.

I have tried to change the default font through desktop properties, but i'm
not sure whether i do it right or not, because it doesn't seem to have any
effect.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Peter
 
Hi,
Thanks for your comment.

I'm not sure that the fonts still are corrupted, because all fonts has been
replaced by fonts from installation CD.
Is it possible to change default font from within this tool ??
What does this tool do if a font is corrupted - and how does it recognize a
damage font ??

/Peter

Yes this did a difference, but i'm not sure whether i can ask the user to
mess with the registry or not :-)

Google for it. Use "Edwardian Script font" as your search term.
