Greetings,
I'm having some difficulty with fonts in Vista Ultimate with Office
2007.
Everything looks fine on almost every website...but when I visit
Wikipedia, the text does not display correctly.
The problem seems to be limited to IE7. My IE7 text size is "medium,"
and my fonts are Latin-based Times New Roman and Courier New. I'm
also using ClearType.
I've linked two images which I hope are worth 1,000 words. The "good"
image shows how things look on someone else's Vista system.
Coincidentally, this is also how things look when using Firefox and
Opera on my system.
The "bad" image shows how things look with IE7 on my system.

The problem began a few days ago, shortly after I wiped and reloaded
my system with my Vista Ultimate CD. Once the system was patched, I
re-installed my large font collection by Robocopying the fonts into
\windows\fonts, then I used the Font control panel to install them
(without copying them to the font folder, because that seemed
logical).
I suppose that I've overwritten or corrupted a default font, but I
have no idea how to determine which. I've run SFC /SCANNOW but that
didn't fix the problem.
I'd very much appreciate some suggestions on how to fix this without
upending my world.
Best regards,
