Click Start, then Run, type fonts, and click "Ok". Locate the Verdana TT fonts...there should be four listed. How many do you see in the font folder. If less than four, list what you have for me here.

I found this on the web, dont know if it will help you but it worth trying

"When a rogue program decides to install its own version of system
fonts, it may replace the original version of the font file with a
shortcut in the font folder. Once this program is uninstalled, the
shortcut may now point to a font file that no longer exists. Windows
XP in turn reacts by turning all unspecified fonts into italics upon
next reboot.The simple way to fix this is to delete all shortcuts in
the font folder and replace them with the actual font file. By going
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Fonts],
you can also double check the path of each font and look for any
suspicious paths."

Ok there were suspicious path for some fonts.

I'd like to reinstall:

Arial (Truetype)
and
Arial Bold (Truetype)


Can anyone tell me how I would go about doing this?

Download the attached file and save it to your desktop.

Navigage to the "Fonts" folder and delete the two fonts you want to replace.

Right click on the downloaded file and choose "Extract All"...extract the files to C:\Windows\fonts

It isn't allowing me to extract or place the fonts in that folder, saying that I'd have to uninstall the old ones first.

However, after having deleted the shortcuts in place of them, they're not in the folder, nor in the registry.

[wannabe1]

Let's try this a little different way...

Download the attached file and extract the files to your desktop. Open the Windows fonts folder and click on "File" on the toolbar...select "Install New Font". In the "Folders" box, Navigate to "Desktop" by double-clicking the folders there. Your fonts should appear in the "List of Fonts" box. Click the "Select All" button and click "Ok".

Does this install them?
