italics

the fonts I use in IE, and Outlook are italicized, yet I
cannot change them.

Any ideas how to get back to the good old system font?

Thanks

Among many ways, one might be
/ start / run / SFC.EXE
= System File Checker
set to restore from the Win98 CD
c:\windows\fonts\*.*

Thanks Don.. That didn't help. I ran SFC's scan feature
and it found no corrupt files. Then I tried a restore of
c:\windows\fonts\*.* but SFC said "filename has an invalid
character.
While I was browsing thru the Fonts, I looked at the
SYSTEM font file and it looked fine.

Is there a setting somewhere which specifies which font is
used by default?

Thanks

Tools Internet Options General has some settings under Fonts and
also Accessibility. Under the latter, you can set up a style sheet
to over-ride default font setting .... although I don't see why you
should need to go to those lengths. (Unless of course, something has
got at your system and actually set up a style sheet without your
knowing).

Have you looked under Help in IE and checked for a fonts entry to
see if it suggests anything?
