fonts

How does Windows 7 save information when we install a Font as a shortcut? I've recently had to reinstall Windows 7 in a computer directed at Media Creation; they have, like, 10,000 fonts and not all programs can handle that great a number, so they selectively use only the fonts they deem...

Hi all, my mother's laptop has Windows 7 and has missing fonts. I tried a couple of things like copying fonts from one Windows 7 machine to another but it appears the fonts are already there. I also tried the reset fonts option from the control panel (>fonts). I also tried running some scannow...

I have Extensis Suitcase 4 for managing fonts, but wanted to know which Windows 7 fonts I should NOT deactivate. Also, which fonts are absolutely necessary for MS Office 2010? (Office installs a LOT of fonts that I would just as soon turn off.) If someone could point me to a list somewhere, I'd...

My problem is that when I copied over fonts to the windows fonts and told it to replace the current font it didn't do what I wanted. For example I copied over a font with the name HS.ttf, and when I now look at the corresponding font it is called HS_1.ttf. I have a certain program that looks...

Interesting Problem! Cursor size (height) remains in excess of 72dpi despite adjustment to font syle or point size. Any suggestions on how to correct will be appreciated. Thanks Vant

Can I install video drivers for my ATI RV 370 video card? The generic drivers with Windows 8 make the fonts pixelated. Maybe the correct drivers would sharpen them up.

I have a PC with two hard drives, My main one is Linux Mint 12 and the second one is Windows 8 Consumer Review. Overall I like the way Win 8 works, but the fonts are not as sharp as on my Mint 12 hard drive. It's all the same video running off my HP 4400 workstation w/4GB RAM. I did the Clear...

I have asked this question before, but never received a sensible response (not on this forum). My question is this: Does anyone know why Win 7 is loaded down with vast quantities of utterly useless and unwanted and space occupying foreign fonts? I need maybe a dozen or so fonts, which is quite...

Hi My windows 7 boots up but there is no text under any of my icons. None of the menus have any text so the task windows are distorted and so are any buttons (which are all text free). I can get to my command prompt and the text display is fine (presumably it uses a different font) . I suspect...

I think that some fonts were manually deleted from my C:\Windows\Fonts folder and now some of my W7 system windows are cutting off text and even portions of buttons. Does anyone know how to reset/install the fonts that came with my W7 machine or otherwise fix this? I am attaching a gif that...

After having installed a new WIn7 around all menu and dialog textes there is a "white shadow". See attached sample snapshots: How can I permanently disable these white shadows? Thank you Peter

Hello I have over 500 PPT files in which I use the font "David Transparent". I use this presentations on a weekly basis, but unfortunately the Win7 does not have this font... I took the TTF file from m old laptop and installed it on the new one but - The only way it shows the David Transparent...

Started my computer this morning and nothing but symbols and special characters are displayed through-out the OS of Win 7. Can only remember making an adjustment to "Twain_86" for my Photo Shop 8, as the "Editor" in the program crashed. Worked my way around and deleted PSE-8, and eventually...
