Hi,

For some reason in the last few days my fonts have gone all wierd.

Example:





See how the o's are misshapen as is the 6, and the u's have a bit missing from the bottom curve.

And when I boot up my desktop lettering is too fat.

Example:



Should look like this.



Its as if something has gone wrong with the sort of shading of the letters

I can fix the desktop letters by changing the theme to windows vista then replacing the backround but for web browsing and windows messages it stays the same, and when I boot up again the desktop letters have changed back the bolder font.

Need some help with this annoying problem please.

Thanks.

i think its an aspect ratio problem. look up how to adjust your specific computers aspect ratio.

try running sfc /scannow...
if you don't have a xp cd you will have to borrow one from a friend or coworker...
it has to be the same flavor of xp you have installed...IE: if you have xp pro...the one you borrow has to be xp pro

How to use Scannow sfc...

To do this click on start...run...then type in...sfc /scannow

This command will immediately initiate the Windows File Protection service to scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files with which it finds a problem.

for vista...
go to the run box and type in cmd
instead of hitting the Enter key press Ctrl+Shift + Enter You will be prompted with the obnoxious User Account Control dialog… but it will then open up a command prompt in Administrator mode...then type in sfc /scannow

NOTE THE SINGLE SPACE BEFORE THE /

Thanks happyrock but unfortunatly doesnt fix it, says there were no problems after the scan, but my fonts are still misshapen.
