all my programs have changed fonts...how do i restore the default settings? im guessing its a windows default setting somewhere because ALL of my programs have this horrible font now.

btw this is windows vista if you know what that is supposed to look like

ah that has happened to me before - but a looonngg time ago on Windows ME... from what I can remember it has something to do with your default system font settings. May not be much of a help, but good place to start is right click desktop and fiddle around with system settings stuff. It's a bit vague to me, but I remember I sorted it through right-clicking the desktop and going into different options from there.

I had a little play around in Vista, but I couldn't find anywhere to change my font. It's possible that the program may have deleted the default font though, as I managed to find a folder with all of mine in. I'm looking now to see if there's a list on the internet that says what fonts come with Vista, then you can check them off.

EDIT: OK so I couldn't find anything, but this (http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/26125) is interesting. It may or may not make a difference.

i've played around with dpi scaling but that isn't quite it. I believe what i'm seeing is Arial and should be Calibri, but only within programs - the bar at the top of a window is still calibri.

I had this problem with one of my work PC's. I never managed to get it back to normal. Just started using a different machine.

Im glad of sytem restore points... they usually just take everything back to what it was before a software install anyway.

Ahh yes, good point. System restore has saved me from a full re-boot many a time.
