icon label font size too small

Win 98SE

Since attempting to install a foreign language
(Bulgarian - therefore using foreign fonts etc)
dictionary program yesterday, (since uninstalled
via Control Panel) some of my display fonts have
changed - the fonts for the labels on desktop
icons, Explorer window contents and certain other
display fonts (text for menu icons in the main
window of programs) have suddenly got smaller. For
example in this Thunderbird, the font size for the
icon labels in the main program window is tiny but
the font size for the icon labels in the message
window is larger.
Altering font size in Display settings does not
affect this. My screen resolution on a 15" monitor
remains as it was at 1024x768, and I have font
size set at 125%.- altering that doesn't change
these particular display fonts although it changes
others.

Is there any way I can get yesterdays settings back?
I'm happy to hack the registry but don't know the
right key.

I have a relevant registry backups from early on
the morning of 19th October before I installed the
dictionary program (Winrescue 98) for the last
couple of days and also a complete image of the
C:\ partition (which has my windows installation
on it - data and programs are on E - I don't have
an up to date image of that). I can restore
individual files or folders from the image.

Many thanks.

Thanks - I had explored that but there seemed to
be several items affected, and when I changed
individual things, it didn't restore the settings
and appearance I had before the installation of
that program - but led to further distortion.

I've restored the registry using Winrescue98 and
things are back to normal - I note that quite a
few of the individual settings in Display -
Appearance appear to have gone up from a font size
of 7 to one of eight for the relevant items.

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
I have found Winrescue a lifesaver on many
occasions. www.superwin.com
