from information by MVP Alex Nichol:

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.
