Windows 7 Windows 7 fonts missing !

[dorinspoaller]

Hi,

I don't know what happened, but when I turned on my PC this morning I found out that the following fonts are missing from the Windows/Fonts directory: Arial, Tahoma, Times New Roman. Maybe others are missing also, but I can't tell.

Everything is Italic and/or Bold.

So my questions are:

01. Why is this happening?
02. What happened with the missing fonts?
03. How could this be fixed?
04. What is the default font and size for Windows 7?
05. Where can I change it?

Thanks in advance!

Please see my post of 7/27/2010 and attachment . Some of the missing fonts may not be missing. Windows 7 chooses to give you its view of the fonts folder. If you examine it in DOS you get the real situation. I presume you have tried to use the fonts ion WORD or other application to check if the app can 'see' them?

Hi

Download a free app called FontViewOK.
It will show you all your fonts, and let you type a message and view it in all of your fonts.

It doesn't even need to be installed, just download it and run the .exe file.

I've used it for years as a graphic designer it is very handy to preview fonts for jobs without trying them all in the application.
