I won't bore you with details but I've managed to delete some fonts that are apparantly important and now display fonts on my comp are all messed.
Does anyone know of a place where I can restore default windows fonts? I think they were system fonts.
argh, I don't even know what I've done.
Please help!
thanks.

I'm on a Mac but you can get the core web fonts here:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ck/default.htm
from there you can probably get to the system fonts if they are different.
They should be on the CD also, unless MS doesn't do that.
Hope that was a little help.

thanks, but I don't think that'll do the trick.
it seems I've caused more damage than that. I have lost the ability to install new fonts...it isn't an option on the menu anymore.

if i were u id make a new startup disk and reinstall windows from dos, this'll only check all the windows files and if some are corrupted/missing it will reinstall them, hope this helps.

for real?
did I really mess up so much that I have to re-install windows?
The things I've deleted are the non TTF fonts that are hidden in the fonts folder (unless you choose to see hidden files).
I am a fool I know, stupid mistake. argh.

Hey squink.
What windows version are you using? I found some info for Windows 95, I imagine if you have the newer Windows versions I'm sure there are better assistants available.

hey squink, the same thign happened to me once, those i didn't delete fonts i just lost the option to install new ones.
Apparently it's a bug in windows and there's a fix on the microsoft knowledgebase thingy, i'll see if i can find it for you
